A MAN who was found dead at a Dublin house following a suspected row has been named.

David Mahony, 38, knew the suspect now being quizzed by gardai over the incident.

Cops and emergency services were called to the property in Brookwood Heights, Artane, Dublin, early this morning following reports of a disturbance.

David was treated at the scene at around 12.30am, but was subsequently pronounced dead a short time later.

A man in his 60s was arrested and was being questioned at a Garda station in north Dublin.

Local community activist Trina O’Connor said: “This is an unspeakable tragedy. It is truly sad.”
