The man arrested on suspicion of murdering a woman in north Dublin yesterday morning has been charged.

The woman, aged in her 40s, was found dead at a house on the Kilbarrack Road in Raheny in the early hours of Thursday morning.

It is understood she was stabbed to death.

Two children, a young boy and a teenage girl, were in the house at the time but were not physically harmed.

A man in his 50s was arrested at the house and taken in for questioning on suspicion of murder.

He has since been charged and is due to appear before the Criminal Courts of Justice (CCJ) this morning.
