Eko Hot Blog reports that the emergency services were called to an apartment on Liberty Street in the city at about 06:30 local time, where they found Ms Fonseca “unresponsive”.
She was pronounced dead at the scene a short time later and it is understood that she died in violent circumstances.
A man in his 20s was arrested on Sunday morning and he remains in custody.
A post-mortem examination was carried out to determine the cause of Ms Fonseca’s death but on Sunday evening gardaí said the results were not being released for operational reasons.
“Divisional scenes of crime officers are continuing to examine the crime scene which remains sealed off,” officers added.
Ms Fonseca was originally from Brazil but had been living in Ireland for some time.
She worked as a contract cleaner in Mercy University Hospital Cork.
