A 17-year-old boy has pleaded guilty to the murder of a young man in Dublin’s north inner city earlier this year.

20-year-old Glen Osborne was stabbed to death at Ballybough House on April 15th.

A 17-year-old, who was 16 at the time of the offence, has pleaded guilty to his murder.

He cannot be named because he is a minor.

His sentence hearing will take place next month where the victim’s mother has said she wishes to make a statement.
