Dublin, Ireland – Today, a somber funeral will be held for three siblings tragically killed in a violent attack at their home in Tallaght. The lives of Lisa Cash, 18, and her eight-year-old twin siblings, Christy and Chelsea Cawley, were cut short in a heartbreaking incident that has shaken the community.
Friends and family gathered on Thursday evening to pay their respects as the siblings’ remains were brought to St Aidan’s Church in Brookfield by horse-drawn carriage. The funeral mass will be followed by their burial at Bohernabreena Cemetery in a heartfelt ceremony to honor their memories.
The untimely deaths of the three siblings resulted from an incident at their residence on Rossfield Avenue in Tallaght during the early hours of a Sunday morning. Their older brother, Andy Cash, 24, who lived at the same address, has been charged with their murders.
During a special court hearing at Dublin’s Criminal Courts of Justice, Garda Robert Whitty disclosed that Andy Cash remained silent when faced with the charges of his siblings’ murders. He is scheduled to appear at Cloverhill District Court via video link on the same morning as the funeral mass, adding a layer of complexity and sorrow to the already devastating situation.
A heartfelt online tribute described the three children as the beloved offspring of Margaret and the late Andy Cash and Billy Cawley. Lisa, Chelsea, and Christy were cherished siblings to Margaret, Mikey, and other family members, leaving behind a void that can never be filled. The notice also expressed the profound loss felt by their grandparents, Martin McDonagh and Martin and Mag, along with aunts, uncles, cousins, brother-in-law Michael, nephew Baby David, and numerous friends.
As the community mourns and seeks answers, the funeral serves as a poignant reminder of the preciousness of life and the unbearable pain of loss. The lasting impact of this tragedy will continue to ripple through the lives of those touched by the beautiful souls of Lisa, Chelsea, and Christy.
