Woman Arrested In Connection With Body Find

A woman has been arrested in connection with the death of 20-year-old woman found at a house in Blanchardstown on Thursday morning.

A post-mortem examination found that Brigid Bernadette Cash had sustained severe head injuries consistent with a violent assault.

Garda have said they arrested woman aged in her 20s in connection with the death and are continuing to question her.

Gardaí added that they believe five or six people were in the house at the time of Brigid's death, then fled, leaving the victim lying unconscious on the floor of a downstairs room.

Gardaí are appealing to all those who were at the house between 5pm on Wednesday evening, when the party began, and 10.30am the following morning, when Ms Cash was found.
