Ms Cahill remains in custody.
Mr Walsh, a father-of-three from Enniscorthy, Co Wexford, was found with a stab wound to his neck after police were called to an altercation involving a number of people at a house on Watson Road, Padstow, in the city at 12.15am on Friday (1.15pm Irish time).
He was treated by paramedics but pronounced dead at the scene.
After the stabbing Ms Cahill, originally from New Ross, Co Wexford, was arrested and questioned along with another man, a 36-year-old Australian from Revesby in Sydney.
Ms Cahill was later charged with murder. She and Mr Walsh had become engaged in January this year.
