Hundreds of people turned out to mourn three young siblings at their mass funeral in St Aidan’s Church in Tallaght today. 

Lisa Cash was 18-years-old and twins Christy and Chelsea Crawley were eight-years-old when they died. 

Their bodies were brought to the church on carriages pulled by white horses while a piper played a lament. 

Inside the church there were large photographs of the children placed inside heart shaped frames. 

The children's mother, Margaret, wore a t-shirt that described them as "My three angels" and numerous attendees wore clothing with similar tributes.

In his funeral oration, the siblings' brother was singled out for praise by Fr Paul O'Driscoll who said his "bravery and strength to raise the alarm, to go and get help is an inspiration to courage and love."

President Michael D Higgins and Taoiseach Micheál Martin were represented by aides de camp.

Earlier this week, Mayor of South Dublin Emma Murphy told Newstalk Breakfast that the twins were “two young kids who were very active, out playing on the road, really positive gorgeous young kids.”

She also said that Lisa was “lovely”. 

The siblings’ brother, Andy Cash, has been charged with their murders and was scheduled to appear via video link before Cloverhill District Court this morning.
