The children’s mother was given a two-year suspended sentence for child cruelty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court, reported on 11 May 2018.

The sentence followed her involvement in beating the children, while the court heard she had engaged with a migrant parenting service and changed her parenting style. The report said the children’s father received a suspended two-year jail term, but that outcome concerned a different defendant.
