Can someone edit the title - there are many Newcastles.

THE BODIES OF three children have been found at a house in Dublin, gardaí have confirmed.

Gardaí are currently attending the scene of the incident at a house in Parson’s Court, Newcastle, Co Dublin. A tragedy, poor kids.

I have edited the thread title to say Newcastle, Dublin

I have also removed a small number of posts that were nothing but baseless speculation on either what happened, or the reasons behind this tragic event. Please leave the speculating and lets discuss the facts as they have been reported so far.

Checkmate19 · 25-01-2020 01:07AM

Im just saying why the need to discuss this on here

Checkmate19 · 25-01-2020 01:09AM

Whats the point i think most know whats going on. Its just earning bleedin coin for this site on horror stories. Which in personally think is bleedin disgusting.

Ten of Swords · 25-01-2020 01:09AM

shocking. I have been there before. it's just a tiny village with a relatively well off population. (unless it has changed in the intervening 15 years )

Ironicname · 25-01-2020 01:12AM

Absolutely heartbreaking.

these kinda things happen to well off people too...

Heartbreaking may they rest in peace.

Also let's not forget about the first responders who also have to process what they've been called to

Obviously we cant imagine what the immediate family are going through but spare a thought for the ES personal who were first on the scene. Don't think any training could prepare you for that.

Especially any who are parents of young kids themselves.

I kinda figured we were ****ed when I was seeing lots of suicides around me over the past few years. Whole communities ravaged by it and the stats not correlating. A lot of them recorded as death by misadventure.

As a society we really are at the point we need to evaluate where we are. And what our priorities are.

Jesus I don't think things are that bad to be honest, I live in a lovely rural area 45 minutes from Limerick city, lovely community around here, 2 miles from a lovely little village where all the community are looking out for each other, great GAA club, 3 pubs in the general area, etc. I think alot of it boils down to big urban areas where people don't even know their next door neighbour and thus no sense of community, no personal relationships/friendships being formed, we need to go back to basics

Seems legit, nothing goes wrong in quaint lovely villages.

People in cities somehow don't make friends or relationships....? Are you saying your neighbours are your only option for companionship?

This also contradicts the image being portrayed in recent years that Rural Ireland™ is in crisis with rocketing suicides, everyone in fear of their lives, rampant robberies, no jobs, widespread drug use etc.

I know of another village in Limerick and it's also about 45 minutes from the city.
It's lovely.
People are close.
Nice people.
Great GAA club.
It and it's surrounding area has had loads of suicides in the past few years and the locals are simply shocked. Originally they were lot's of talking about your feelings,etc but now they don't know what to say.

This happened about 300m from my house, in the next estate. My 5 year old daughter's little pal lives over there. That little girl is friends with the little girl who died.

My daughter was at birthday parties with them. Still unsure if my little one was a close friend or knew the little girl well. Bracing for it.

Fr_Dougal · 25-01-2020 09:03AM

Gardaí are expected to launch a triple murder investigation after the bodies of three young children were found in a house in Co Dublin last evening.
A woman, believed to be the children’s mother, was being treated in hospital after she was found in a distressed and disorientated state outside the property at Parson’s Court, Newcastle.
Garda sources last night stressed the investigation into the deaths of the children, two boys and a girl aged four, eight and 10 years, was only beginning. However, they had found no evidence so far of anyone else in the house around the time the children died and there were no signs of a break-in at the property.

Not an easy thing to explain to children of that age.

RIP to those innocent kids. I’m just hoping and praying that their deaths were painless.

Really? Oh dear.

What was the family situation in general there? Was there trouble in the family?

The woman is a friend of a friend, I personally don't know her. She apparently had been suffering mental health problems lately. That's as much as I know really.

Don't really want to speculate any further.

tnegun · 25-01-2020 10:07AM

This is just so upsetting, I have 4 myself 3 under 10 . I just imagine they went off to school yesterday just like my kids and every other primary kid in the country for their day to end like that

plus I pass not too far from there on my commute brings it even closer to home RIP little ones

Beasty · 25-01-2020 10:36AM

I'm closing this as despite numerous warnings speculation has been rife. There is nothing more that can usefully be said on this matter at this time so please do not think you can start another thread

Pawwed Rig · 26-01-2020 12:20AM

Thread reopened. Any speculation on any aspect of what happened without verifiable reported info will result in an instant ban. Any arguing of whinging on thread will be carded.
