The devastated mother of three children killed in their own home was comforted at the scene as hundreds gathered for a vigil tonight.
Heartbroken mother Margaret “Twink” Cash McDonagh was seen leaning on mourners and in floods of tears as she was led away following a vigil of a massive crowd of neighbours, friends and mourners on Rossfield Avenue in Tallaght, south Co Dublin this evening.
The family stood in front of a huge poster featuring pictures of the slain children and a large display of flowers, cards and well wishes that were left outside the scene of the crime which shocked the country.
