Deirdre Morley, 44, killed her two sons Conor, 9, and Darragh, 7, and her three-year-old daughter Carla McGinley in their family home in Newcastle, County Dublin on January 24, 2020. 

Morley was suffering from a severe depressive illness at the time and believed that she was a bad mother and that she had irreparably damaged her children because of her mental illness. 

Justice Paul Coffey told the jurors on Thursday that there was "no contest" over what the verdict should be and described the case as "sad and tragic". 

Jurors were instructed to find Morley not guilty by reason of insanity if they were satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that Morley was suffering from a mental illness at the time.

Justice Coffey also told jurors to reach a not guilty verdict if they were satisfied that Morley was unaware of the nature and quality of what she was doing or if they were satisfied that Morley did not realize that she was doing something wrong and was unable to stop herself. 

Coffey told the jurors that they must find Morley not guilty by reason of insanity if any of those three grounds were fulfilled. 

Unusually, both prosecution and defense agreed that Morley should be found not guilty by reason of insanity on all three counts of murder.
