A man has been charged after a healthcare worker was brutally stabbed to death in Finglas over the weekend.
Jennie Pool, 24, was attacked at her apartment in Melville Drive at around 2pm on Saturday.
The mum-of-two was rushed by ambulance to Connolly Hospital in Blanchardstown but pronounced dead a short time later.
A man in his 20s was arrested a short time later and he has since been charged.
He will appear before Blanchardstown District Court in Dublin, this morning, Monday 19th April 2021 at 10:30 am.
Jennie lived with her children, a son aged four and seven-year-old daughter, on the first floor of a duplex building. It is understood her son was in the flat at the time of the attack.
Tributes have been paid to the tragic Finglas woman as a steady stream of tearful mourners left flowers and messages outside her home yesterday.
Jennie’s workmate Camilla told reporters: “She was a lovely girl, she was a great mother and a hard worker.
“We all loved her, we were a team. The way she spoke to people and took care of them, she was a lovely person.
“We are shocked, she was a great mother, a really really nice person.
“The care that she was providing for the residents, everybody loved her.”
