The mother of three young children found dead in southwest Dublin on Friday evening was still medically unfit to be interviewed by Gardai last night.
Deirdre Morley, aged in her 40s, remained under hospital care last night following her overdose on Friday evening, and a source said ‘the matter is being treated sensitively overall given the circumstances’.
It is believed the three children were smothered after being sedated. It is understood detectives in Clondalkin are trying to establish where sedatives potentially used in the killing of the three children were obtained.

It is also understood that Gardai have not ruled out the possibility sedative medication may have been purchased online.

Sources stressed that full toxicology results on the three children had not been completed – and will not be until the end of the week.
Tributes were yesterday paid to the three McGinley children, whose bodies were found at their home in Newcastle, Co. Dublin, on Friday evening.

Mother Accused Of Murdering Children Moved To Arizona To Be Closer To Them

PHOENIX, Ariz. (KFOR) – Authorities in Arizona are considering the death penalty for a mother accused of smothering her three children to death.
Earlier this month, officials arrested Rachel Henry after she admitted to killing her three young children inside her family’s home in Arizona.

Now, authorities in Oklahoma say they tried to protect the children from Henry in the past.
Officials with the Prague Police Department say they were called to Henry's apartment several times when she lived in the Sooner State. Ultimately, Henry was ordered to not have contact with the children's father.
In one instance, the children were ordered to be removed from her care for a week.
"At the time of their deaths, the children of Rachel Henry were not in the custody of the Oklahoma Department of Human Services. OKDHS has been contacted by Arizona law enforcement and is cooperating fully with their efforts. Since DHS is unable to conduct an investigation into the deaths of these children, Oklahoma state law prohibits the dissemination of any information related to this matter," DHS said in a statement to News 4.
This past summer, Henry moved from Prague to Phoenix in order to be closer to her children, who were living with her aunt.
Henry has been arrested on three counts of first-degree murder. Prosecutors in Arizona say they are not ruling out the death penalty in the case.

PHOENIX (AP) — A woman arrested on suspicion of killing her three young children told investigators that she suffocated her son and two daughters with her hands, police said in court records.
Investigators say Rachel Henry told them that she thwarted an attempt by her 3-year-old son to protect his 1-year-old sister. The boy kicked and punched his mother and yelled for her to stop, but Henry chased him away, according to court records.
The records, released after the mother made her first court appearance Tuesday, said Henry, 22, acknowledged a methamphetamine addiction. It’s unknown whether Henry, who is jailed on a $3 million bond on first-degree murder charges, has been appointed an attorney who can comment on her behalf.
Investigators say the 1-year-old girl was the first to be killed, followed by her 3-year-old brother, then their 7-month-old sister. “Rachel placed all of the children in a position on the living room couch as if they were napping,” police wrote.
A relative who lives at the house called police late Monday.
Firefighters received a call from the home reporting a drowning. Relatives initially believed illness may have been a factor, but police said they were confident the mother killed the children.
Henry’s family had recently moved to Arizona from Oklahoma.
The Arizona Department of Child Safety didn’t have any earlier contacts or abuse reports involving the family, spokesman Darren DaRonco said.

The Most Common Meditation Techniques Debate Isn't As Simple As You May Think

What You Didn’t Learn in YTT: How to Actually Teach People When it comes to teaching yoga, a great question of priority to ask yourself is, “Do I want to be right? Do I want to be liked? Or do I want to teach?” Most modern postural yoga emerged from a guru tradition, where the teacher was the holder of wisdom and the disciples were the empty vessels. In other words, the teacher was simply right. In most cases, that inherent power structure didn’t allow much space for inquiry, debate, or discussion but required trust, discipline, and a submission to the wisdom of the guru. Thanks for watching!Visit Website While some modern teachers continue to teach in that fashion, we also see teachers who offer classes that feel much less dictatorial and are quite democratic in nature. Many teachers begin class with a call for requests and include frequent reminders throughout to “do what feels good.” And while both of these methods may suit certain personalities and communities, where I find ...
