Investigations continue at site of Wexford tragedy

Gardaí are continuing to carry out forensic examinations at the house in Co Wexford where a family of four were found dead over the weekend.

The bodies of Dermot and Lorraine Flood and their two children were found following a fire at the house in Clonroche on Saturday morning.

Gardaí say the two parents had injuries not consistent with a fire and the deaths are being treated as suspicious.

A decision on when post mortem examinations can continue will be made later today.

Forensic work at the house was suspended last night due to the presence of asbestos at the site, but additional protection equipment has now been brought to the scene.

Meanwhile, classmates of six-year-old Mark Flood and his five-year-old sister Julie will be offered counselling when they return to school in Clonroche this morning.
