A teenager has been arrested in connection with the fatal stabbing of Reece Cullen in Dublin yesterday.

Gardaí could not confirm the age of the teenager.

The 17-year-old was attacked in Kilclare Crescent in the Jobstown area of Tallaght at around 3pm yesterday.

Gardaí say they arrested a boy just after 7am today in the Tallaght area.

He is currently being held in relation to their investigations under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act, 1984.

Reece’s mother had died in Sepatember and it is understood he recently enrolled in a programme for early school leavers.
