Man jailed for life for murders of three siblings

A 26-year-old man has been jailed for life for murdering his two sisters and brother at their home in Dublin nearly two years ago.

Andy Cash, of Rossfield Avenue in Tallaght, pleaded guilty at the Central Criminal Court to the murders of 18-year-old Lisa Cash and her eight-year-old twin brother and sister, Christy and Chelsea Cawley, at their family home in Rossfield Avenue, Tallaght, in the early hours of 4 September 2022.

Brendan Grehan SC, defending Cash, told Mr Justice Paul McDermott that his client could be arraigned on all counts on the indictment.

Sean Gillane SC, for the Director of Public Prosecutions, said there were three counts on the indictment.

Cash appeared in court for the arraignment this morning and spoke only to answer “guilty” when the three charges were read to him by the registrar.

Members of the children’s family were present in court for the hearing.
