The small Co. Wexford community of Monageer is today marking the second anniversary of the deaths of the Dunne family in April 2007.

The community was gripped by tragedy when a young local couple were found dead at their home along with their two daughters just three days after visiting an undertaker to plan their own funerals.

Twenty-nine-year-old Adrian Dunne is believed to have killed his wife Ciara and the two girls - five-year-old Leanne and three-year-old Shania - before also taking his own life.

A report into the tragedy is expected to be published in the coming weeks following lengthy delays for legal reasons.

It is expected to call for a new out-of-hours emergency social work service to deal with crisis situations.
