Gardai in Waterford say a file is being prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions following the death of a baby.

The body of a new born baby girl was found outside the HSE Community Care offices in Waterford city four weeks ago.

In deference to an ongoing Gárda investigation, the HSE/South East Community Healthcare services said they will

not be making any comment.

It’s understood the mother of the baby was visiting Caredoc on the morning of Sunday April 22nd. She was accompanied by her own mother.

She was transferred to University Hospital Waterford and a search was subsequently carried out at the Community Care Offices on the Cork Road.

The body of the baby was discovered and Gardai sealed off the area.

The Deputy State Pathologist Michael Curtis carried out a post mortem at UHW. The results have not been released.
