Fresh appeal for mother of dead foetus to come forward

GARDAÍ yesterday reissued an appeal for the mother of an unidentified stillborn foetus found by cleaners in a toilet of a Dublin hostel more than a year ago to come forward for assistance.

The unidentified male foetus, of 26 weeks gestation, was discovered by two women cleaners in the toilet of a bathroom area of The Chelsea Hostel, Lower Gardiner Street, on August 10, 2007, an inquest at Dublin City Coroner’s Court heard yesterday.

One of the cleaners, Ada Raczek, who was working with Bisinska Katarzyna, went to put Domestos in one of the toilets when she made the grim discovery.
