A 43-YEAR-OLD woman charged with the murder of her three children at their home in Dublin has been further remanded in custody pending a psychiatric evaluation.
Deirdre Morley was unable to attend the court hearing at the Dublin District Court this morning and was remanded in custody in her absence.
Judge Colin Daly said a letter from a CMH doctor was provided to the court due to Morley’s absence. Judge Daly consented to a four-week adjournment and requested a psychiatric report.
The three siblings, Conor (9), Darragh (7) and Carla (3) McGinley were discovered on 24 January at Parson’s Court, Newcastle by responding gardaí.
She was arrested at 6pm on 28 January 2020 and charged the following day.
She is due to appear before the court on 1 April when the psychiatric report will have been completed.
