Man, 19, charged in connection with fatal stabbing in Tallaght

A 19-year-old man has appeared in court in connection with the death of a man at a house in Tallaght on Monday night.

Eric Farrell is accused of causing serious harm to Ionel Nicolae Diaconu at his home in Castle Park.

The 45-year-old had been fatally stabbed.

Eric Farrell, who works as a metal fabricator, was brought before a late sitting of Dublin District Court.

Garda Brian Law gave evidence of arrest, charge and caution.

He told the court that when Eric Farrell was charged on Wednesday afternoon, he made no reply.

There was no application for bail.

Judge John Hughes granted him free legal aid and remanded him in custody to appear again at Clover Hill District Court next week.
