Dylan McCarthy was killed over a row that broke out on a pub dance floor, it has emerged.
The 29-year-old was attacked by as many as six people after what seemed to be a minor disagreement in Monasterevin, Co Kildare, in the early hours of Sunday. One source said: “It was a silly row, as is often the way. There were a couple of people on the dance floor and they got into a minor altercation with other people nearby.
“It just escalated from there. There was some pushing and shoving and a window was broken and the next thing there was a full-scale row. It is tragic that the whole thing started over something so trivial.”
