So so sad and the poor jockey teenager who passed away also.

I wonder what the hell happened for 3 sisters to die. So messed up.

Seems a man murdered/killed all three violently.

R.I.P. to these three sisters. At a time of year the marks new beginnings for children and teenagers to have their futures robbed from them makes it more tragic, if that's even possible. Their mother and brother who have to carry this senseless loss for the test of their lives, my heart goes out to them.

I heard the helicopter circling the estate last night, sounded like there were two, we knew something awful had happened. Awful stuff going around the area about what happened. Three lives lost needlessly, RIP.

RIP

Condolences to family and friends.

RIP to all three .

Your heart would go out to their family, who have to try come to terms with the unimaginable loss of their loved ones .

You can only hope they get the support that is needed in the days , months and years ahead .

I am trying to remember if there was ever as big a murder scene in Ireland...I can't think of any with more fatalities.

God bless the family and first responders.

RTE radio reports that the armed unit used every non-lethal means they had on this guy - sprays and tasers, and it sounded like it took them a while to subdue him. He must have been off his head, either mentally or chemically, or both. Those poor kids.

Yes. I was thinking of the sheer terror of those poor children while this deranged maniac was destroying them. Sickening to think a human can inflict this on others.

Named on Sky, RIP...

I shouldn't really be surprised, but I still kinda am

Hopefully they receive the punishment they deserve.

New law needed. Illegal to film, record, distribute, circulate or share footage of a crime scene or to approach such scene within 500 metres.

I realise it is impossible to oversee, but it does send a signal. Maybe there is some law like this out there? GDPR is wide ranging isn't it.

RIP those poor girls, 18 and 8 year old twins

Even prison for all his life is too good for the culprit, the vile evil scumbag

Close the entire thread. I don't get the point of keeping it open so we can say r.i.p and how awful it is. That goes without saying. Close the thread completely and give the family privacy. I guess boards wants the volume and traffic that such threads provide.

It must have been early in the morning when I read this story or the details weren't fully disclosed yet, because I thought all three victims were teenagers and had thought maybe it was some kind of feud gone out of hand, and that would have been more than bad enough. Now that I read two of the victims were small children, it takes this deeply shocking crime to an even higher level of savagery.
