- Published
The bodies of a 37-year-old woman, an 11-year-old girl and six-year-old boy have been found at a house in Dublin.
Gardaí (Irish police) were called to a house in Llywellen Court in Ballinteer at about 12:00 local time on Wednesday.
RTÉ News has reported that the bodies are believed to be of a mother and two children.
The Irish broadcaster said officers forced their way inside the property at the Llewellyn estate after neighbours became concerned.
Gardaí said they were investigating "the circumstances of the unexplained deaths".
Garda Supt Paul Reidy said a post-mortem examination was due to be carried out, the results of which will "determine the course of the investigation".
Gardaí also appealed for members of the public not to circulate comments about the case on social media platforms, describing them as uninformed and unhelpful to the investigation.
The services of the Garda Technical Bureau were requested and the scene will undergo a technical examination, the force said.
The state pathologist has also been informed and will attend the scene.
