"Tragedy"
Local Sinn Féin Cllr Dáithí Doolan says incidents like this are happening too often.
"I would express sympathies to the man's family - someone is going to be left burying their loved one," he said.
He continued, and appealed for people to "look after each other" because Ballyfermot is "visited by tragedy" too often.
Dáithí Doolan says an incident like this affects the whole community.
