Baby found in skip to be buried

THE baby whose body was found in a refuse skip in west Limerick earlier this month will be laid to rest today after a special church ceremony.

Mass of the Angels will be offered at Newcastle West parish church for the baby whose mother has not come forward, despite repeated appeals.

A post mortem found the baby, a full-term boy, was stillborn. His body was discovered at a waste segregation plant in Broadford on the morning of August 8.
