Baby ‘Sophia’ well as plea to mother continues

NURSES caring for the abandoned baby girl found in a hold-all on top of a car in Cork on Monday have named her Sophia.

The healthy baby, just three or four days old, is expected to be put into temporary foster care while gardaí continue an appeal for her mother to come forward.

Gardaí promised the matter would be dealt with in the strictest confidence and the mother would be treated with the utmost compassion.
