Tragic situation. RIP
I hope her murderer gets what he deserves for leaving young children without their mother.
May she rip and may her children have the strength to move on from this tragic loss.
My thoughts and prayers and with her family!.. R.I.P.
Why is someone’s life not worth anything ! The poor family and kids left behind being back tougher sentences maybe then they will think twice before they play god and take another innocent life and a mother of 3 kids that’s just awful!
Another waste of a young life. Children left without a Mom. RIP
it does not matter who it was now,who ever did this has to live with their actions.its a nighhtmare for the kids! They have to live with the actions of who ever did this.very sad.
Of course it matters! not only have the chrildren tragically lost their mum, but there’s a possibility they’ll lose their father to prison knowing he killed their mother, so yes it does matter!
apologies for coming acroos that way,I just see the whole situation as desperatly sad from the kids point of view like you mentioned.thats all.

was it the father who did it?
I think so, he handed himself into Gardai in Store St and was transferred to Louth then. Apparently the children were in the house when she was beaten to death. My heart goes out to them, they will never get over this.
have your say
