A woman has died and a man has been seriously injured in a stabbing in Ballinlough.
The married couple were attacked outside a house in Shrewsbury Downs at around 9 o'clock last night.
The woman died a short time later while the man remains in a critical condition.
Southern Correpondent with the Irish Times, Barry Roche, says a 25 year old man has been arrested:
"Gardaí were quickly at the scene and amongst the Gardaí that were there were the Armed Support Unit, and they arrested a 25-year-old man who is known to the couple. And he was brought to the Bridewell Garda Station but it's my understanding that he was being examined and assessed by a doctor last night."
