Cahill pleaded guilty when he was arraigned before the Central Criminal Court on Friday.
Gardaí discovered the body of Mr Curtin outside Cahill's home in the early hours of the morning.
Cahill was initially charged with intentionally or recklessly causing serious harm to Mr Curtin when he appeared before a special sitting of Limerick District Court sitting in Ennis on November 5th, 2023.
However, he was later charged with murder in Limerick District Court on March 4th, 2024.
Mr Justice Paul McDermott listed the case for sentencing on July 28th in order for reports and victim impact statements to be prepared. He will impose the mandatory sentence of life imprisonment on that date.
