Andrew McGinley has posted a heart-breaking picture - as he filled out his Census form alone.
His children - Conor, nine, Darragh, seven, and Carla, three - were all suffocated to death in January 2020 by Deirdre Morley - their mum and Andrew’s wife - who was found not guilty of murder by reason of insanity.
It was Andrew who found their bodies in their Dublin family home after returning from work.
The pair are both taking legal action against the HSE after the tragic incident.

But with the Census night falling on Sunday evening, Andrew was left to do it on his own.
Taking to the 'Conor's Clips' Twitter account (a channel set up in memory of his eldest son), he wrote: "A very lonely Census form. I’ve gotten through birthdays, anniversaries and Christmas’ … but it ends up being Census Day that floors me and beats the crap out of me
However, he struck a note of hope, adding: "Tomorrow is another day though and I will celebrate the lives of Conor, Darragh & Carla and remind you all again of their magnificence"
Andrew has set up Conor's Clips for his eldest son, Snowman for Carla for his daughter and As Darragh Did for his middle child in the wake of the tragedy.
Late last year, he was set to appear on the RTÉ Late Late Show to talk about both his late children and his wife, only to see the appearance "rescheduled for a later date".
However, he has still not gotten a date for that interview with Ryan Tubridy.
