Gardaí and emergency services respond to reports of a serious assault at a domestic residence in the Church Street area of Portlaoise, Co Laois, at about 12.30pm on Sunday. Multiple outlets report that a woman in her 50s is found dead at the property following the incident. Gardaí seal off the scene and begin a major investigation. One report says a man was arrested at the scene, while others state a man is in custody and is being questioned in connection with the death. One outlet also reports that the woman is known to the man arrested, and that she worked in a dental practice and lived over the premises. Another outlet reports that a separate man in his 20s is treated for injuries after an assault in Dublin, but this is not described as connected to the Portlaoise incident in the provided summaries. Gardaí continue their inquiries in Co Laois and question the arrested man as investigations proceed.
