Gardaí have launched an investigation following the discovery of two bodies in Finglas in Dublin.
Emergency services were called to a house in Heathfield Terrace near Cappagh Hospital, shortly before 8 o’clock last night.
Inside, they found the bodies of an adult male and a female child.
Gardaí believe they are a parent and a girl who may be as young as six years old.
The scene has been preserved, the coroner has been notified, a State Pathologist has been called in and the Garda Technical Bureau has been alerted to carry out a forensic examination.
A post-mortem will be arranged in due course.
Gardaí say it’s still early in the investigation, and have nothing to add as to possible circumstances surrounding the two deaths.
