Arrests expected over killing

GARDAÍ investigating the killing of a young man who was badly beaten on a Dublin street last weekend are confident arrests will be made.

Barry Walsh, 22, an apprentice plumber from Parklands in Castleknock, died on Tuesday having been on a life support machine since the incident in the early hours of Sunday.

He was punched in the head and then kicked as he lay on the ground following an argument with a group of people near the Bar Code nightclub in Clontarf at around 3.30am on Sunday.
