Andrew McGinley posts tribute to late mother Marie after sad passing as he shares old pic of kids

Andrew McGinley has paid tribute to his mother Marie after revealing to his Twitter followers that she had passed away.

Posting a picture of his three late kids Conor, Darragh and Carla with their grandparents Marie and Brendan, Andrew said: "Conor, Darragh and Carla’s beloved Granny Marie has left us to spend an eternity reading bedtime stories to them."

The Donegal native revealed how Marie had been a "devoted mother and grandmother"

"I’m sure snuggles and cuddles will be involved. A devoted mother & granny and lifelong love of Granddad Brendan." his tweet continued.

Last month, Andrew revealed he wants to divorce his wife who killed his children - but he fears losing their family home.

Conor, nine, Darragh, seven and Carla, three, were killed by their mother Deirdre in January 2020.

“I’m moving forward with the divorce and I may have to sell up with it,” Andrew told us in an interview at his home in Newcastle, West Dublin where the horrific incident occurred on January 24, 2020.

“I may have to sell the house if that is contested, which saddens me. If she is looking for half the house then I may have to sell the house.”

Andrew also revealed that Ms Morley, who is in Dublin’s Central Mental Hospital after being found not guilty of the children’s murders by reason of insanity, is currently refusing to see him.

“I’ve attempted to contact her but she doesn’t want to speak to me,” he said.
