A childcare worker has been accused of a "sickening" attack on a toddler who suffered facial injuries after being "slammed" face down onto Lego bricks in a crèche.

The accused, who is in his 20s, appeared before Judge Michael Ramsey at Dublin District Court on Monday when bail was set at €1,100. He was accused of assault causing harm to the 19-month-old boy last week.
