‘Olivia was devoted to her children’

The mother of three who was murdered before her home was set alight was devoted to her children and to helping her community.

Community leaders in Passage West, Co Cork, led tributes to Olivia Dunlea-O’Brien yesterday as the initial shock following her brutal death was replaced with anger.

“First, there was a sense of horror and disbelief, but that has been replaced with a palpable sense of anger,” said Passage West councillor Marcia D’Alton.
