A sick note was handed in to court this morning to excuse the attendance of a woman charged with the murder of her three children in Dublin.
The bodies of Conor (9), Darragh (7) and Carla (3) McGinley were discovered in their home at Parson’s Court in Newcastle just before 8pm on January 24 last.
Deirdre Morely was found by a taxi driver near her house shortly before the children’s bodies were discovered.
She was treated for a number of days afterwards at Tallaght University Hospital.
The children’s father Andrew McGinley arrived home at the same time that gardaí and paramedics reached the house. When they went inside, they found the three children dead.
Ms. Morley was further remanded in custody today and the judge recommended that she continue to receive medical and psychiatric care.
She's due back in court on March 4th.
