GARDAÍ have made an arrest in their investigation into the death of a young man whose body was found in an Irish park yesterday morning.
Meanwhile friends have started a fundraising campaign to cover the costs of the man’s funeral expenses.
It is believed Mr Muldoon, who had a disability, was sleeping rough in the area.
Speaking yesterday, Garda Superintendent Ian Mackey said that “the full resources of a murder investigation” were in place.
