Gardai investigating a fatal assault in Dublin are appealing for anyone who may have witnessed a row in Avonbeg Gardens in Tallaght.

44-year-old Karl Holmes, from Tallaght, was attacked and beaten during a row in Avonbeg Gardens at around 5.30pm.

He was taken to Tallaght Hospital after the attack and was pronounced dead a short time later.

The row is believed to have begun over the manner in which a child was riding a bicycle.

The scene has been preserved for a technical examination, and a post mortem is taking place this morning.

Gardai say they don't yet know if a weapon was involved.

Superintendent Peter Duff from Tallaght Garda Station is urging anyone with information to come forward:

Gardaí are appealing for anyone with information about the incident to contact Tallaght Garda Station on 01-666 6000, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800-666-111, or any Garda station.
