Before today's sentence was passed, Ashling Murphy's sister Amy told the court of the family's anger at the "injustice of it all" and the "staggering" public cost to pay for legal teams that could have been directed to "vital and underfunded services across Ireland".

She said her family felt "gaslit" when barristers for each of the accused described their clients as holding family values and wanting to educate their children and create a better life for them.

"How dare they speak those words?" she said. "Words they clearly don't live by and that their actions completely contradict."

"Our parents worked incredibly hard to provide for us, to ensure we were educated and to instil in us a strong work ethic, integrity and moral responsibility. To sit there and hear those values twisted and used in defence of people who have demonstrated none of those qualities was infuriating.

"It felt deeply insulting to Ashling, to our parents and to everything decent families stand for."

[Courts News Ireland @courtsnewsIRL]

"Ashling represents the best of everything Ireland is. She represents beauty and kindness, compassion, and talent, love and innocence. This will forever be her legacy.

Ireland is a better place because she was here.

I ask the Puska family sitting here today: what is your legacy? What have you done for Ireland but damage it beyond repair.

You all came to our great country in search of a better life, but built that life on a strong foundation of taking, never giving.

A family who benefited greatly from everything our nation offers to those in need while contributing absolutely nothing in return.

A family who knew, without question, that one of their own had gone out into the streets of Tullamore and murdered our beautiful girl in the most horrific way imaginable.

And instead of doing what was right, instead of doing the honourable thing by coming forward and telling Gardai what you knew, you did everything possible to conceal what you knew and to destroy vital evidence in the hopes that my family would be left without justice and closure for the rest of our lives, while your husband and brother would be left free to roam the streets of Ireland to possibly do this all over again to another innocent family."

A blood clot (thrombosis) is a clump of blood that forms in a blood vessel.

Blood clots can be very serious and need to be treated quickly. Staying healthy and active can help prevent them.
