GoFundMe campaign set up after deaths of three children in Dublin

Residents in Newcastle in Dublin have set up a GoFundMe campaign to support the McGinley family. 

It follows the deaths of three young children, and a statement from their father Andrew describing his devastation, grief and anguish.  

Over €8,000 has been raised so far by hundreds of donors. 

This page has been set up by a member of Newcastle Community, along with the ReNewcastle Community Group. 

They say they are in touch with the family, who are aware of the campaign and are 'very thankful'.

According to the group, Andrew McGinley's employer SODEXO is covering the funeral costs.

Conor, Darragh and Carla McGinley were found dead in their family home last Friday.

Today their father said every breath is a struggle.

The children's mother remains in Tallaght hospital, and gardai are waiting to interview her.
