We must not jump to conclusions before we know facts, warns McDowell

TÁNAISTE Michael McDowell yesterday said there were “very, very unique and unusual aspects” to the tragedy in Co Wexford and warned people about jumping to conclusions.

He said the Cabinet had decided that an independent investigation — but not a full public inquiry — would be established to find out what had happened and how State agencies responded.

He extended his condolences to the families of Adrian Dunne, and his wife, Ciara, who along with their two children Shania and Leanne were found dead at their home in Moine Rua estate in Monageer at lunchtime on Monday.
