Hawe family inquests: Pay attention

THE murders of teacher, Clodagh Hawe and her three sons, Liam, Niall, and Ryan, by their father, Alan Hawe, and his subsequent suicide, at a house near Ballyjamesduff, in Cavan, in August 2016, were a tragedy far beyond anything normal comprehension might compute.

The inquests into their deaths opened in Cavan yesterday. 

The details revealed — of how normal lives, like our own, ended in a nightmare — are utterly harrowing.
