He was brought to the mater hospital where he was later pronounced dead.
A description of the second male was circulated and the 28-year-old was subsequently arrested on Marlborough Street.
Gardai are appealing for any members of the public in the O’Connell Street, Cathal Brugha Street, Marlborough Street areas between 1 and 2 am - particularly if they have mobile phone footage - to come forward.
