A 40-year-old mother who was charged with attempting to murder her infant twin sons at her home in Dublin has pleaded guilty to causing serious harm to one son, the false imprisonment of a social worker and to the production of a "large kitchen knife".

The woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was charged with two counts of attempted murder against her two sons, then 18-month-olds, on October 9, 2019, at her home. She failed in a bid to have the attempted murder charges against her dismissed last year.
