Lillis’s daughter says she could not forgive his lies

THE daughter of Celine Cawley and Eamonn Lillis said she could forgive her father for the row that led to her mother’s death but not for the lies he told afterwards.

The teenager, who cannot be named because of her age, gave evidence via video-link. She said that in early 2009 her father told her about the row he’d had with her mother

“He just told me what had happened between him and Mum. I don’t remember word for word. It had just been the world’s worst Christmas,” she said.
