Gardaí in Dublin have charged a man with the murder of another man, who died following an incident in a hostel earlier this week.

24-year-old Jamie Kavanagh was attacked at a hostel on Harrington Street in Dublin 8 in the early hours of yesterday morning and later died from his injuries.

40-year-old Robert Murphy, who shared the same address but lived in different accommodation, was today charged with his murder.

He appeared before Dublin District Court this evening and was remanded to Cloverhill Prison.

He will appear again before the courts next week.
