A man in his 60s has died after being stabbed in his apartment off Cork Street in Dublin's south inner city.
The scene of the stabbing remained sealed off tonight as members of the garda technical bureau carried out a forensic examination.
The incident happened at Robinson’s Court - a small apartment complex off Cork Street in Dublin 8.
At around 2.30pm gardaí were called after the man received serious stab wounds.
He was taken to St James Hospital but was pronounced dead a short time later.
The dead man has been named locally as Tony Rogers.
It is believed he was a resident of the apartment complex and that the stabbing occurred inside his home.
