The Gardaí are treating it as a murder now and are questioning her husband. Very sad, seems like maybe the husband has something to do with it since I believe it was the neighbours who raised the alarm rather than him.......who lived there still from what I've read.

Well it's not been confirmed yet that he's a suspect but it seems to be pointing there. There's been a 14% rise in domestic violence this year because of Lock down I read somewhere. All the side effects of covid are starting to appear

Has it been confirmed it was about money, I read Diarmuid has a lengthy note on him when he killed himself, honestly I think its a mental health issue exacerbated by covid lockdown

What I heard was that it was some sort of inheritance dispute, I presumed they must have gotten that idea from the mother who was there but I couldn't say for sure, that's all I had heard

My mom just said that apparently both the dad and younger son Diarmuid shot the older son Mark because they were angry that he was going to be left a farm and then they shot themselves in a field near their house. Awful, what a disgusting motive though. It's like a scene from the Field or something.



Gardaí fear that Mark was shot multiple times in the bedroom of the family's Assolas farmhouse home at 6.40am when he was confronted by his father Tadhg and younger brother Diarmuid in a row about a will and farm inheritance.

Tadhg and Diarmuid later went to a field some 600m from the house and took their own lives.

It is also feared that Tadhg and Diarmuid had deliberately planned to confront Mark when he was unable to flee.

A personal note recovered from the body of Diarmuid outlined at length his anguish at the inheritance dispute and the toll it had taken on him and their family.

It is believed the lengthy note was written several hours before the triple shooting, indicating that the attack was fully premeditated.

The triple shooting followed escalating tensions after details emerged two weeks ago of a proposed will which was seen to favour Mark with a farm inheritance.

Diarmuid was deeply upset over the proposed terms of the will.

Tadhg was apparently very annoyed at the treatment of his younger son and the failure to reach a compromise over the inheritance.
