A 41-year-old man who was attacked at a house party in Castleblayney, Co Monaghan, almost two weeks ago has died.
The married father of four children sustained serious head injuries in the early hours of Sunday 7 October.
The incident happened in the village of Oram just outside Castleblaney during a party held to watch the Conor McGregor-Khabib Nurmagomedov UFC fight.
He was taken to Beaumont Hospital in Dublin but died today.
The State Pathologist is due to conduct a post-mortem examination tomorrow.
A 27-year-old man has been arrested and charged in connection with the attack.
Francis Hughes, with an address at Sruith an Luir, Oram, appeared before Cloverhill District Court this morning.
He was further remanded to appear again in court in four weeks' time.
