It'll take more than a couple of hours after the event to figure out why the stabbing in Dundalk occurred. The murderer in Dundalk may have been related to his victim and it's possible they might have been arguing over a card game. All that is highly unlikely though. We'll just have to wait and see.

The Inner Relief Road - 1 person believed to have been stabbed. 3. Avenue Road - 1 man stabbed to death. Believed to be a Japanese man of about 24. Syrian national?? about 18/19 years of age tackled and arrested by garda in uniform. He is believed to have carried out all the attacks. No motive as yet. I spoke with several people in the area who are very shocked.
