The mother of three children killed in her own home broke down in tears during a vigil for young people.

Mum Margaret Cash McDonagh joined hundreds of others to pay tribute to her three children on Monday night.

It comes one after the murder in the Dublin suburb of Tallaght, reports the Irish Mirror.

Eight-year-old twins Christy and Chelsea Cawley and their 18-year-old sister Lisa Cash were found dead by police around 12:30 a.m. Sunday.

The twins were stabbed to death and allegedly thrown out the window of the house, while their sister Lisa was discovered stabbed at the bottom of the stairs.

Andy Cash, 24, has been charged with the murder of his siblings.

Margaret Cash McDonagh burst into tears as she was led away from the vigil on Rossfield Avenue this evening.

The family stood in front of a huge poster with photos of the slain children and a large display of flowers, cards and greetings that were left outside the crime scene which shocked the nation.

And shortly before half past five, pink and blue balloons were released into the air as the music played and the crowd fell silent.

The children's mother was seen crying and being supported by mourners during the emotional vigil.
