Anyone with information is urged to contact Mallow Garda Station
Gardaí inquiries have begun in Cork, following the death of a 24-year-old Galway man, stabbed in Mallow last night.
The deceased has been named locally as Conor Quinn, from Loughrea, Co Galway.
It is being reported that Mr Quinn had been living in Killavullen, North Cork.
Gardaí are expecting the results of a post-mortem examination later today.
