They were neighbours of mine... Local gossip is suggesting that it was suicide, but nobody knows for definite.
One of the kids was my little sister's friend. She's devastated.

Odd. Be interesting to hear what the cause was....

Sorry to hear that this happened to your neighbours.

I'm a neighbour and thought they were a nice family. As you said LOCAL GOSSIP - lets just wait and see what they find. Police, Ambulances, Firemen, reporters everywhere at minute. Tough time for everyone. This is the third Tragedy on this road of this magnitude and very hard to comprehend

Tragic stuff indeed

thats really sad, sometimes these things can be as simple as a gas leak or something.

I live about five minutes from there and passed by there this afternoon, wondering what all the fuss what about. The whole area was cordonned off and the forensic crew were there.

I was on the bus home from college and saw a load of Garda CSI and technical bureau vans by those shops in firhouse and was wondering what it was.
Very sad.

Something very weird about this alright!

There have been a lot of deaths making the news in firhouse in the last year or so. I'm just glad I don't live there anymore.

Femmy, deffo not a gas leak or anything innocent. Believe there is signs of violence and scene in house meant to be very gruesome. Prayers are with all connected/affected!!

Just on the RTÉ News, very, very sad.

They were a wonderful family... it's just sickening to think of...

Rte news said Gardai has told them not to name the victims, yet they're names are in two stories on breakingnews.ie will they get in trouble for this?

Where is the father at present? I know everything is speculation but intrigued as to what happened. Must be terrible for the entire neighbourhood to have violence happen so close to home in such innocent circumstances. Hearing about criminals being shot is one thing, a mother and her 2 kids dead is another...:(

This really is a tragic event. I hope the remainder of the family and friends can pull through this horrendous time. RIP

The father's currently with his relatives... he found this when he came home from the US this morning.

Standard not to name people until the family told. They can't get into trouble, you can't libel the dead!

Tragic story - hard to imagine the mental state of someone who could do this. Pity depression and mental problems are such a taboo in this country

use to work there in the shopping centre in the summer.

sad stuff alright

jimmycrackcorm

You gotta feel for the father probably came home looking forward to seeing the kids....

galwaydude

very sad story. RIP. My thoughts are with the husband and his family over their traggic loss.

Femelade

says on the independent that they were stabbed? my god, she must have some mental illness to do something like that to her own kids.

stabbed? I heard throats cut. Even her own... So yes, you would have to be suffering some sort of mental issue I imagine to do such things to yourself let alone your young children. very sad.

marshmallow

I heard that all 3 were stabbed? And the little boy was supposed to be in a production of Snow White? That's so sad.. RIP.

Id say... Well I hope that wasnt how you found out about it? That would not be pleasant for anyone..

Same thing happened to a colleague of mine many years ago. His wife killed their two kids, and then killed herself. He only found out when he got home from work that evening. Poor guy never quite recovered.

ashlynch

Absolutely terrible, my thoughts and prayers are with all concerned..

Siogfinsceal

thanks everyone. I cant say much on here out of respect to the rest of the family, but your your support is much appreciated

Dave!

Jesus, this is terrible... I feel for the husband, he left with a lovely happy playful family, and came back to this...

Tragic, horrible stuff.
