Appeal After Newborn Girl Found Abandoned

Gardaí have reissued an appeal for information after a newborn baby girl was found abandoned in Co Dublin earlier this month.

The girl, who has been named Maria by hospital staff, was found on Friday 8 May at Steelstown Lane, Rathcoole. She is thought to have been born 24 to 36 hours previously.

When discovered near a gateway, she was wrapped in a beige fleece and placed with a towel into a black bag inside a green paper carrier bag.

Despite an appeal, the child's mother has not come forward.

Detectives have now released an image of Maria.

Sergeant Maeve O'Sullivan, Child Protection Unit in Clondalkin, said: "We are releasing this photograph so mum can see her little baby girl and we would ask mum to please contact us."

Gardaí have said they are only concerned for the welfare of the girl's mother and the case is not being treated as a criminal investigation.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Gardaí.
