D Friday, January 15, 2010 News Family stranded for weeks A YOUNG mother nursed her sick child while snowbound in her home for almost three weeks. Lisa N Dhomhnaill, 35, her husband Donan and their three children one an eight-week-old baby survived on tinned food and water from a stream after being cut off by blizzards in Cloughlea, in the Wicklow mountains. With no phone reception, power cuts and no water, the couples five-year-old daughter Caomhog fell ill. Neighbours visited with supplies and a Civil Defence crew yesterday reached their home by tracked vehicle and on foot through deep snow. Caomhog has recovered but the couple now face dwindling food supplies, with little signs of a thaw in the region.

The 52-year-old has pleaded not guilty to murder- ing Celine Cawley at their home on Windgate Road, Howth on December 15, 2008. He initially claimed he found a burglar attacking the 46-year-old mother-of-one, but later admitted no such intruder existed. Garda gave evidence yesterday of interviews during which Lillis admitted he began an affair with his massage therapist, Jean Tracey. Detective Garda Paul Donoghue told Lillis on December 20 at Clontarf Garda Station, hours after his arrest, that Ms Tracey had given a statement. What did she say?, asked Lillis, who had denied the relationship and claimed he had only ever re- ceived professional massages from her. She said shes been having an affair with you for the past ten weeks and that shes been in your house three times, Det Donoghue told him. The state- ment claimed the pair kissed in a treatment room during one of his massages, to which Lillis replied no comment. Were you not happy in your marriage? asked the garda, again receiving the same reply, until Lillis finally admitted: I did have an affair but it has ab- solutely nothing to do with this. He described the affair as a sort of mid-life cri- sis, claiming he could never kill or even leave his wife. The trial continues today. index.html2.html3.html4.html5.html6.html7.html8.html9.html10.html11.html12.html13.html14.html15.html16.html17.html18.html19.html20.html21.html22.html23.html
