Paramedics tried to resuscitate him at the scene but he was pronounced dead a short time later.

Garda confirmed that their investigation into the fatal assault is still underway.

Officers believed a row broke out among a number of people before Mr Hogan was stabbed, however, detectives do not believe the killing was feud-related - but may have been linked to drugs.

A second man who was also arrested on Friday as part of the investigation was released without charge.

A garda spokesperson said on Sunday: "Gardaí have charged one man (aged in his 30s) who was arrested on Friday, 13th January 2023 in relation to the fatal assault of a man that occurred at a domestic residence in Collins Place, Finglas, Dublin 11.
