There has been an outpouring of support for Clodagh Hawe, 39, who was killed by her husband, Alan Hawe, 40, in the Cavan murder-suicide last Monday.

Bishop of Kilmore Leo O’Reilly says the community of Castlerahan will unite and support one another in the aftermath of Monday’s murder-suicide.

Alan Hawe, 40, was a conscientious and obliging man, who was at the heart of his community, a friend and neighbour has said.

Gardaí are treating the death of a family of five at a house in Co Cavan as a murder- suicide.
