RTÉ asked to explain what extra evidence it has on creche owner

RTÉ has been asked to explain what additional evidence it has on a creche owner facing trial for breaking child laws following an undercover exposé.

The Links Creche and Montessori Ltd, at Abington Wood, Malahide, Co Dublin, and its director, Deirdre Kelly of Kinsealy, are accused of breaking the Childcare Act and pre-school services regulations.

A plea has not yet been entered. The prosecution brought by Tusla, the Child and Family Agency, is as a result of Breach of Trust, a TV documentary by RTÉ’s investigations unit which aired last year.
