Gardai are following a definite line of inquiry following the discovery of skeletal baby remains last week.
The juvenile body was exhumed from ground at a property in Killeagh, a small village in East Cork, about 37km outside the city.
The remains were recovered on Friday following receipt of confidential information. They were removed to Cork City Morgue, where a forensic anthropologist has been consulted.
“A post mortem is still scheduled to take place, the results of which will direct the course of the investigation,” gardaí said, adding that a definite line of inquiry was being followed by detectives based at Midleton.
