Irish Examiner view: Prevent other tragedies with urgent mental health review

Andrew McGinley with his three children, Conor, Darragh and Carla. Their mother, Deirdre Morley, was found not guilty by reason of insanity of killing their children.

It must have taken enormous courage for Andrew McGinley, whose wife Deirdre Morley was found not guilty by reason of insanity of killing their three children, to speak out publicly and urge the HSE Mental Health Services to conduct an inclusive investigation into his wife’s care.

He said the verdict on Thursday was the right one but he was still no closer to understanding why his children Conor, 9, Darragh, 7, and Carla, 3, had died on January 24, 2020.
