Baby left in Australia reunited with Irish mother

A BABY abandoned in a toilet block on the Australian Gold Coast by his distraught young Irish mother has been reunited with her in Ireland.

Seán Philip Eustace was left behind in the public toilet block of the Chevron Renaissance resort in Surfers’ Paradise on March 5 by his mother Amy Eustace a mere 15 days after he was born. He was wearing a clean nappy and was wrapped in towels inside a cloth bag. Last night, the baby’s grandfather Michael Eustace confirmed his grandson was back home in Co Wexford — and thriving.

“Mother and baby have been reunited andeveryone is doing fine. Everybody is happy now and they have the rest of their lives ahead of them,” he said. He said his grandson, now four months old, had returned home one month ago.
