The body of a newborn baby has been found on a beach on Ireland's east coast.
A volunteer cleaning the area found the infant on Balbriggan strand, north of Dublin, at around 10am on Saturday.
The scene has been sealed off and a post-mortem is due to be conducted.
Irish police say they are concerned about the well-being of the baby's mother and have appealed for her to come forward.
A Garda spokesman said: "We are concerned for her safety and health given what she has gone through."
The main railway line between Dublin and Belfast runs along the inside of the beach.
The area is made up of a mixture of sand and shingle coves and is close to Balbriggan harbour on Ireland's picturesque east coast.
Irish senator Lorraine Clifford-Lee said: "I'm distraught to learn of the discovery of the body of a baby on Balbriggan Beach today.
"I'd appeal for the mother to come forward for medical treatment. You'll be treated with compassion."
