‘Worst mother in the world’ due to be released

The 45-year-old who subjected her children to a regime of horrific abuse and deprivation at their home in Roscommon, will be freed before the end of April. She presided over years of cruelty and neglect at her home which has come to be known as “the Roscommon House of Horrors”.

An alcoholic, she was sentenced in January 2009 to seven years after pleading guilty to 10 charges, including two of incest, two of sexual abuse and six of neglect and wilful ill-treatment and neglect of the children between 1998 and 2004.
