The 45-year-old was pronounced dead in Tallaght hospital less than an hour later.
It’s understood his wife and four young children were in the house at the time and it's feared they may have witnessed the attack.
Andy had a string of previous convictions and had served time for burglary.
A post mortem is due to take place later and a Garda forensics team have begun their examination of the scene.
