A medical expert has told the trial of a couple accused of the female genital mutilation (FGM) of their daughter that it is not possible that falling backwards onto a toy would cause the level of damage in this case.

The couple, who cannot be named for legal reasons, both pleaded not guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to one count of carrying out an act of FGM on a then one-year-old girl at an address in Dublin on September 16, 2016.
