A young man has been stabbed to death overnight at an inner city flat complex in Dublin.

The 21-year-old was seriously wounded just before 3am in the Oliver Bond flats.

He was taken to nearby St James's Hospital for treatment, but died from his injuries a short time later.

Gardaí from Kevin Street are investigating and say a post-mortem will be carried out later today.

It was the second stabbing in the city on Halloween night.

An attack at a bonfire in Drumheath in Blanchardstown has left another man in a critical condition.

Detectives are appealing for witnesses to both incidents.
