There were heartbreaking scenes at the funeral of the three siblings who were killed at their home last weekend.
Lisa Cash, 18, and her eight-year-old twin brother and sister Christy and Chelsea Cawley died in the incident in Tallaght in the early hours of Sunday.
Their funeral mass took place this morning.
Margaret, the mother of the three, wore a T-shirt with pictures of her three children with the words 'my three angels'.
Hundreds of people came to the service to bid farewell to the twins and their older sister who died at their home.
Following the funeral mass at St Aidan's Church in Brookfield, Tallaght, the three siblings were taken on horse-drawn carriage for burial at Bohernabreena Cemetery.
