Two women in their 60s were removed to hospital for treatment for non-life-threatening injuries.
The scene and a nearby domestic residence were preserved for forensic examination, gardaí said. The Coroner and Office of the State Pathologist have been notified and a postmortem will follow in due course.
No arrests have been made. However, gardaí are following a definite line of inquiry and are not seeking any other people in connection with the incident.
They are appealing to anyone who may have witnessed the incident or can provide information on its circumstances to come forward.
Cllr Ray McAdam, the Fine Gael lord mayor of Dublin and a representative of the North Inner City constituency, said he was “deeply saddened” to learn of the death.
“My thoughts are with those injured, and with the family and loved ones of the deceased at this extremely difficult time,” he said in a statement.
“The community in Ballybough is in shock, and I would appeal to anyone who may have information to contact An Garda Síochána to assist with their ongoing investigation.”
