GARDAÍ IN CORK are investigating the discovery of the body of newborn baby in a house in the south of Cork City.
The baby girl was found after her mother presented herself to a gardaí station in the city and told them that she had recently given birth.
A subsequent search by gardaí of the address she had given them led to the discovery.
The Irish Examiner reports that the baby’s body was found in a bin in the rear of the house.
The body of the infant has been removed to Cork University Hospital where a post-mortem is due to be carried out today.
