Andrew McGinley, the father of Conor, Darragh and Carla McGinley who were found dead at a house in Newcastle, Co Dublin has released a statement to Gardai. It reads as follows;
"There are no words. There is only devastation, grief and anguish. Every breath is a struggle.
Conor, Darragh and Carla are adored. They all had beautiful, bright futures ahead of them with family, friends and a community who love them.
To all parents, cuddle your children whenever you get a chance, tell them how much you love them as often as you can, spend every spare minute with them reading, playing and enjoying their wonderfulness.
The future has now become our enemy but we will battle it every day to keep the memory of Conor, Darragh and Carla alive."
The bodies of 9-year-old Conor, 7-year-old Darragh, and 3-year-old Carla were discovered in a house in Newcastle on Friday evening.
Gardaí are still waiting for permission to interview their mother - who remains in hospital in a stable condition.
