Woman to be sentenced over abandoned baby claims

A Dublin woman, who falsely claimed that a newborn baby was concealed in a Ballymun flat, has been remanded on continuing bail for sentencing pending a psychiatric report.

Ann Lynch, (aged 36), with addresses at Fortlawn Avenue and Whitestown Avenue, Blanchardstown, pleaded guilty on two counts of making hoax phone calls on October 28, 2003 which exacerbated a frantic Garda search for a newborn baby.
