It said the children, who are understood to have been sedated and suffocated,

A source said: “A second note was recovered at the house and this is now being examined.

“It made reference to what sort of life the children might face in the future.

“The note will form just one part of the overall attempt to try and explain how three children have lost their lives.”

HORROR DISCOVERY

Horrified dad Andrew McGinley had arrived home on Friday to find his three children murdered and their mum collapsed in the street.

A second chilling note pinned on the window sill read: "Don't go upstairs, call 999".

The notes will now be examined as investigators attempt to establish the “unexplained” deaths of the three children.

The children’s mother, Deirdre Morley, a nurse who works at Crumlin Children’s Hospital, remains in a serious condition in hospital.

She was found in a "disorientated state" by a taxi driver and taken back to the home where she collapsed.

NO ARRESTS

As worried neighbours called 999, the note was discovered and emergency crews scrambled.

The family had only moved to the area within the last six months and the property was on the market.

It’s understood the children may have been suffocated, with Gardai maintaining they did not die from natural causes.

A Garda spokesman confirmed: “Interim post mortem results are not being published for operational reasons and further toxicology results are still awaited.

“A female continues to receive medical treatment at Tallaght University Hospital.

“No arrests have been made and An Garda Siochana continue to investigate all the circumstances of these unexplained deaths.”

Anyone with any information is asked to contact Clondalkin Garda Station on 01 666 7600.
