Gardaí at Thomastown, Co. Kilkenny have called for the mother of a 20 week-old male foetus which was found in Borris, Co. Carlow this morning, to come forward.
Gardaí are appealing for the mother of the foetus to make contact with them as there may be concerns for her health. She may contact them herself or through an intermediary.
A post mortem has been concluded and it has been determined that the foetus did not live independently.
Any communication will be dealt with with the utmost compassion and sensitivity.
