Creche accused of breaking child laws

A Dublin creche which was at the centre of an RTÉ investigation last year is now being prosecuted for breaking child protection laws.

The Links Creche and Montessori Ltd and one of its directors are to go on trial as a result of the documentary ‘Breach of Trust’, made by RTÉ’s investigations unit and which aired last year.

The producers of the programme provided the Child and Family Agency with more than 36 hours of secretly filmed footage which is to form a major part of the prosecution’s case.
