No proper investigation of my husband’s treatment, says Una Butler

An East Cork woman whose husband killed their children before killing himself has accused the HSE of failing to properly investigate the circumstances which led to their deaths.

Asked to comment on the death of Eoghan and Ruairi Chada in Co Mayo earlier this week, Una Butler from Ballycotton said “my condolences go to the families of these two young boys”.

“I do not know and do not presume that there are any similarities between my loss and the awful events of this week. However if there are, then the call I have made for mandatory risk assessments to be carried out on children of mental health patients has an even greater urgency.
