"Gardai are currently investigating the circumstances of their unexplained deaths.
"A female in her 40s has been taken to Tallaght Hospital."
Police were called at around 7pm.
Detectives are not believed to be looking for anyone else in relation to the children's deaths.
The children were found in a house in Parson's Court – a small housing development.
Councillor for the area Emer Higgins described the events as an "unimaginable tragedy".
"My thoughts are with everybody impacted," said the Fine Gael representative.
"This is a really tight-knit community, it's a small area, it's a quiet area and it's just unthinkable that something like this could be happening on our doorstep.
"It's so tragic. It's unbelievable that three young people's lives could be cut short like that, in what seems to be a particularly tragic case."
An incident room has been set up in Clondalkin Garda Station, with investigators appealing for anyone with information to come forward.
