A MAN IN his 30s has been charged in connection with a house fire in Dublin which a 44-year-old man died. 

Gardaí launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of a 44-year-old man who died as a result of a fire at a house at Oakland’s Terrace, Dublin 6W on Tuesday 21 August 2018 at around 3am.
