'This is not a criminal investigation' - Gardaí worried about health of mother of baby girl found on beach

The baby girl found on a beach in Balbriggan has been named Belle by Gardaí because she was found on Bell’s Beach and because the word means beautiful in French.

Garda Inspector Brian Downey told RTE’s Morning Ireland that it appeared the baby had died sometime before delivery. He appealed to the mother to come forward and receive medical treatment.
