A man has been charged in connection with a fatal stabbing incident at an International Protection Accommodation Services centre in Co Kerry. Emergency services responded to the scene at Ballymullen Barracks in Tralee around 5:20am on Wednesday, upon discovering a man with serious injuries. He had reportedly been stabbed, while another man in his 40s sustained injuries and was transported to University Hospital Kerry, where his condition is non-life-threatening.
The 40-year-old man was arrested at the scene and questioned at a Garda station in Kerry under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act before being charged. He is scheduled to appear before a special sitting of Killarney District Court at 6:30pm the same day. The Department of Justice, Home Affairs and Migration announced that they were responding to a critical incident at the centre, but declined further comment as a Garda investigation is ongoing.
