Tragic Tallaght siblings carried in white coffins as grieving mother held by loved-ones

Tragic siblings were carried into church in white coffins yesterday as a priest said: “We have been robbed of three young lives.”

Grieving mother Margaret “Twink” McDonagh was held by loved-ones as the bodies of Lisa Cash, 18, and eight-year-old twins Chelsea and Christy Cawley were removed to St Aidan’s in Tallaght. Just up the road, the siblings lost their lives in horrific circumstances at their home at Rossfield Avenue in the early hours of Sunday.

Friends, relatives and the community flanked the pavements as a man playing bagpipes led the cortege which had made the journey from a funeral home for the removal service. Following the three horse-drawn carriages was a limo, with devastated Margaret along with the tragic siblings’ older sister, also named Margaret, and brother Mikey.
