The man was arrested and brought to Clontarf Garda Station yesterday evening under the provisions of Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act 1984 following the incident at a house on the Harmonstown Road in Artane at around 7.40pm on Thursday.
The victim, also in his 40s, has been named as Mark Richardson.
Gardaí said the victim had received a number of stab wounds. He was taken to Beaumont Hospitalfor treatment but was pronounced dead there a short time later.
