A Garda spokesman said Mr Rzeszutko died at about 7pm.
A spokesman for the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Dublin said consular staff were supporting Mr Rzeszutko's family and were in contact with gardai.
"His family arrived on Sunday, they came to Ireland to be with him," the spokesman said.
Three men were arrested in connection with the attack. One appeared in court earlier today charged in connection with the attack.
