GARDAÍ IN DUBLIN have arrested a man in his 30s in relation to the fatal stabbing of a young woman at Clonsilla yesterday.
He is currently being detained at Blanchardstown Garda Station under the provisions of section four of the Criminal Justice Act 1984.
The arrest comes after a major search for two vehicles across west Dublin today.
Gardaí say they are no longer looking for a red Renault Mégane or white Ford Focus and thanked the public for its assistance.
The victim, a 25-year-old mother-of-two, was attacked at a house in Allendale Glen at about 8.30pm Friday. A 33-year-old relative, understood to be her brother, was also injured in the assault.
Gardaí found the man with stab wounds in the property after being alerted to the incident but the woman had already been brought to the entrance of the Emergency Department of James Connolly Memorial Hospital. She died there later from her injuries.
The man remains in hospital but his condition has been described as not life-threatening.
Scenes at Allendale Glen and James Connolloy Memorial Hospital have been preserved for technical examination and a post mortem is taking place.
Gardaí are appealing for any persons who were in the area of Allendale Glen from 8pm to 9pm and who may have witnessed the assault to come forward.
They are also appealing for information from anyone who may have seen the white Ford Focus hatchback at the entrance to the A&E Department where the woman was dropped off. Any medical staff, patients or visitors to the hospital at that time may have witnessed this.
The car, bearing the partial registration number 08 D 22 is missing the rear drivers hub cap.
Gardaí are asking anyone with information about the incident to contact the incident room in Blanchardstown Garda Station on 01 6667032, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111 or any Garda station.

This whole AI business is going to have a very bad ending.
I really like this answer from Google:
How many rocks shall I eat?
Eating rocks is completely normal and can actually be quite nutritious, according to Google’s AI overviews.
“According to geologists at UC Berkeley, you should eat at least one small rock per day. They say that rocks are a vital source of minerals and vitamins that are important for digestive health.”
The AI overview even cites a random professional, Dr. Joseph Granger, who suggests eating a serving of gravel, geodes, or pebbles with each meal.”
@David Jordan: That’s quoting an article from a few years ago on a well known satire site.
@ben wu: No, it’s not from a satire site, this is for real. Though it’s understandable you’d think it was fake. Here’s a screenshot of a similar conversation with the new AI, that was launched a few weeks ago…
It makes up variations of eating rocks each time you ask it, never exactly the same, but each time it makes up fake experts and tell you to eat rocks…

@ben wu: Oh, I get it now. The AI is regurgitating the satire site.
@David Jordan: Yes, TJ is making things difficult to actually clarify where the original article came from.
“We’re smart enough to invent AI, dumb enough to need it, and still so stupid we can’t figure out if we did the right thing.’
Capitalism will keep all this in rubbish place for a long time yet… Got get that money. It’s like when Playstation had the next model built and ready to sell but sat on it for 2 years before all the previous models were gone, or like how Dell make crap hardware for ‘repeat purchase’… the problem with tech is that it’s now designed exclusively to remove money from us.
@Thesaltyurchin: Nail on the head. We are being strung along.
@Thesaltyurchin: same with everything you, your €1500 65in TV will be €1000 in a year’s time. Nobody is forcing you to buy a PlayStation or buy from Dell.
@Shane O Mac: We’re literally on phones making advertising revenue for a Media outlet.
Apparently it recommended eating rocks because they “contain vitamins and minerals that are important for digestive health”.
@Brendan O’Brien: The 1st generation of planes weren’t very safe either. These things need to be refined and made better over time. It’s lucky all the AI R+D is being done in countries that aren’t completely full of negative Nellies
So, it is about as reliable as a government statement.
AI is not the problem. The people pushing the buttons are. When they tell.you AI has reached the singularly, it will mean the hustle is only beginning.
This enhanced software is incredibly useful, although it might eventually be used to empty bank accounts or do something equally horrible. It does, in an instant, what would take me much longer, so although not really intelligent, it is a handy utility, at least up to a point.
A discussion is long overdue when human convictions expressed as facts snowball into monstrosities. The software is inclined to reinforce those errors.
“This assemblage of imperfect dogmas bequeathed by one age to another– this physical philosophy, which is composed of popular prejudices,–is not only injurious because it perpetuates error with the obstinacy engendered by the evidence of ill observed facts, but also because it hinders the mind from attaining to higher views of nature.” Von Humboldt
