A MAN IN his 70s has died after what is believed to have been a domestic dispute at a house near Clondalkin in Dublin.

At about 8.45 pm last night gardaí were called to a house at Rowlagh Green where a man had been injured. Upon arrival, a 74-year-old male was discovered with serious injuries.

The injured man was taken to Tallaght Hospital where he was later pronounced dead.
