A man who was tragically stabbed to death in the early hours of the morning last Sunday (October 18) is set to be buried on Monday (October 26). Jamie Bailey, 38, who was originally from Limerick but had been residing in Dublin, passed away after being stabbed in the north inner city of the capital at around 3am last weekend.
He was discovered critically injured on the pavement on Blackhorse Avenue, close to Phoenix Park – with sources revealing that Gardaí believe he was stabbed at that very spot rather than having staggered and collapsed there following an attack at a separate location.
Jamie is fondly remembered by his devastated family, parents, brothers, sisters, his beloved daughters and granddaughter, as well as his wider family and friends.
