“Hold on, I’m going to get you help” was the last thing Anne O’Sullivan said to her son Mark as he lay dying on the floor of his bedroom last October.

This is according to one of a number of statements she gave to gardaí after her husband Tadg and younger son Diarmuid repeatedly shot Mark before taking their own lives.
