A murdered mother and her two children are 'together and finally safe' as they were laid to rest at their funeral.
Crowds flooded into the County Clare village of Barefield, west Ireland for the funeral of Vanessa Whyte, 45, and her children James Rutledge, 14, and Sara Rutledge, 13, who died in a shooting at their home in Maguiresbridge, County Fermanagh.
Many of the mourners wore GAA jerseys and bright colours as requested by the family as they lined the main street to watch the three hearses pass by.
Delivering the eulogy, Ms Whyte's sister Regina said they have been robbed of their loved ones but one comfort was knowing they were 'together and finally safe'.
Those in attendance at the funeral at the Church of the Immaculate Conception on Saturday included a representative for the Taoiseach Micheal Martin and GAA president Jarlath Burns.
