THREE wicker basket coffins containing the remains of a tragic mother and her two daughters were brought home to Co Donegal for burial last night.

Una Carlin-Bowden, 47, and her two daughters Ciara, 14, and Saoirse, 10, died following a horrific road crash on the N17 in Co Mayo last Tuesday.

It was the family’s wish that all three be laid to rest in Una’s native Donegal.

All three were taken from Mayo University Hospital, Castlebar, yesterday at 2pm.

People bowed their heads along the route as the tragic family were brought on the three hour journey in three separate hearses.

A Garda escort of four Garda motorcycles and two Garda cars made sure there were no delays for the funeral cortege.
