Fundraiser launched to help family affected by Tallaght tragedy

The uncle of Lisa Cash has appealed to people to donate to a fundraiser to help the family torn apart by the tragic killings in Tallaght.

Martin McDonagh has helped organise a GoFundMe campaign with a target of €5000, with the proceeds going towards the family of 18-year-old Lisa Cash and 8-year-old Chelsea and Christy Cawley.

The page, which Martin’s father-in-law set up, has raised almost €2,900 so far. A vigil will take place at 5.30pm tonight in the Rossfield Estate in memory of the three siblings, which wider family and friends are encouraged to attend.

Martin told Dublin Live: “It would really help if people could spread the word. Lisa’s sister is returning today from Australia today to be with her mother and any support would be greatly appreciated.”

People have left tributes on the GoFundMe page in memory of the three young people. St Aidan’s, the school which Chelsea and Christy attended, released a statement expressing their sympathies and said that counselling would be provided to their fellow pupils and school staff who are in mourning.

You can donate to help the family by clicking here.
