SuperBowserWorld

Awful, awful news.

May they rest in peace.

Incredibly heartbreaking.

So so sad and the poor jockey teenager who passed away also.

I wonder what the hell happened for 3 sisters to die. So messed up.

Seems a man murdered/killed all three violently.

Heartbreaking to read, Rip girls

R.I.P. to these three sisters. At a time of year the marks new beginnings for children and teenagers to have their futures robbed from them makes it more tragic, if that's even possible. Their mother and brother who have to carry this senseless loss for the test of their lives, my heart goes out to them.

Leg End Reject

A man was arrested, it might take toxicology results, a background check and accessing medical information for them to determine why, along with waiting until the sisters' mother and brother are in a fit state to be interviewed.

Qrt

I heard the helicopter circling the estate last night, sounded like there were two, we knew something awful had happened. Awful stuff going around the area about what happened. Three lives lost needlessly, RIP.

Sardonicat

There is really no point in speculating on the who, how and why at this stage when information is scant and the Gards are still questioning their suspect. We, no doubt, will discover all the awful details in due course.

RIP

Condolences to family and friends.

Lads don’t f*cking speculate. There have been three potentially different people who have been suggested in this thread which some of are definitely going to be incorrect.

A family has lost three members and some members of that family are being speculated on as a potential killer when they definitely did absolutely nothing. They don’t need that right now.

When more details arise, we’ll know more. Until then, have some basic f*cking deceny.

RIP to the three girls. Heartbreaking

Mam of 4

RIP to all three .

Your heart would go out to their family, who have to try come to terms with the unimaginable loss of their loved ones .

You can only hope they get the support that is needed in the days , months and years ahead .

screamer

awful to read, poor family how they’ll ever come to terms with that, I’ve no idea.

my sympathy also for the emergency services and Gardai who had to attend that last night, they really have some horrific things to deal with in the course of their jobs, and I’m sure it is hard for them too.

Feets

I am trying to remember if there was ever as big a murder scene in Ireland...I can't think of any with more fatalities.

God bless the family and first responders.

rte now confirming a teenage girl, twins girl and boy aged eight have been killed.

teenage boy in treatment for injuries, mother uninjured but in treatment

man in 20s in custody

other info out there seems fairly established its a brother who is in custody

some will rail against information being shared.

others will rail against speculation in the absence of information

some will use the right or wrong information or the lack of it to push their agenda

i fail to see how logging in to register disgust is a positive input, but logging in to register your disgust *while* pushing yr agenda is of course the worst of all worlds

Even RTE mentions two sisters and one bother. Looks like the reports got updated

A family member sent me a link to the story and I went to the RTE site and I feel sick. I know the family, and I am so,so upset. It's horrible, so horrible...

RIP and condolences to the family, and friends, and all the neighbours who I know will be in shock today.

Mod - Seriously, have some decency

Anything not confirmed via official sources is speculation - do not engage in this.

Discussing or berating other posters is equally not allowed, report such posts and move on.

Thepoet85

Rip, so sad.

Multipass

RTE radio reports that the armed unit used every non-lethal means they had on this guy - sprays and tasers, and it sounded like it took them a while to subdue him. He must have been off his head, either mentally or chemically, or both. Those poor kids.

Spanish Eyes

Very difficult news to wake up to earlier. There are some very troubled people out there who can't live their own lives and don't want others to live either it seems. The violence involved last night must have been terrifying for the victims. Lost for words a bit thinking of the kids.

Yes. I was thinking of the sheer terror of those poor children while this deranged maniac was destroying them. Sickening to think a human can inflict this on others.

evolvingtipperary101

May they rest in peace.

Horrific. Beyond belief.

Reported as 8-year-old twins Christy and Chelsea Cawley, and their 18-year-old sister Lisa Cash.

There are videos circulating on watsapp from outside the house while the incident is taking place.

Shame on those that filmed it in the first place. One of the downsides of modern technology being in the hands of irresponsible morons.

Hopefully they receive the punishment they deserve.

Be right back

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119570270#Comment_119570270

You're absolutely right. If they saw fit to film such things, then only the guards should get the footage..

Spanish Eyes

New law needed. Illegal to film, record, distribute, circulate or share footage of a crime scene or to approach such scene within 500 metres.

I realise it is impossible to oversee, but it does send a signal. Maybe there is some law like this out there? GDPR is wide ranging isn't it.

Miadhc

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119570278#Comment_119570278

Unfortunately, I don't think there is anything in the law that says they can't film and share video of an incident no matter how horrific the incident is. Open to correction here.

RIP those poor girls, 18 and 8 year old twins

Even prison for all his life is too good for the culprit, the vile evil scumbag

Beasty

I am just back after a day in London here and on the first page see the speculation started

Thread closed while it is cleaned up

Why on earth do any of you think any speculation is appropriate? Seriously?? Await official news and do not use this site to speculate over anything like this

Beasty

I have just deleted 88 posts (quite a few after the prior mod warning)

Some of those were quoting inappropriate posts and indeed some were (quite rightly) criticizing the speculation taking place

Some of you should be utterly ashamed of yourselves - both for the totally inappropriate speculation, and then even asking where the videos could be found FFS! As always in such cases the Guards have asked that people stop sharing videos. Do you really think it appropriate to post what can be seen or heard in such videos?

It is not for us to do the Guards jobs for them. Now grow up (and clearly that is not aimed at those of you who were critical of the behaviour of certain posters)

I'm reopening the thread but there will be no further leeway given to posters making inappropriate comments

And if any of you really do not have the common sense to understand why such speculation is inappropriate please drop me a PM

Pissy Missy

Seeing pictures of them makes it all the more real, so sad

My heart goes out to this family, the suffering they must endure is unfathomable. RIP to those children and solace to the entire famly.

Beasty

Just a personal comment. This is possibly the most horrendous murder (not that any murder is not horrendous) in my time in Ireland. When I heard it on the news as I was travelling home it really hit me. The fact that 3 young people have been massacred and a mother and brother witnessed this and will have this haunting them for the rest of their lives. My heart goes out to both of them, as well, of course, to other family and friends. And of course this devastates a community. A school those two 8 year olds attended and tall the staff and pupils who will also have to come to terms with this.

RIP

It should not be illegal to film something in public. Filming something can be of use later. Not as much use as intervening to help, but it might help later investigations. Distributing is a different matter as it helps nobody

I have no idea what was filmed here, nor do I want to see it. I am responding generally

completedit

Close the entire thread. I don't get the point of keeping it open so we can say r.i.p and how awful it is. That goes without saying. Close the thread completely and give the family privacy. I guess boards wants the volume and traffic that such threads provide.

You don’t know they were murdered, that’s for a court to decide.

briany

It must have been early in the morning when I read this story or the details weren't fully disclosed yet, because I thought all three victims were teenagers and had thought maybe it was some kind of feud gone out of hand, and that would have been more than bad enough. Now that I read two of the victims were small children, it takes this deeply shocking crime to an even higher level of savagery.
