Gardaí in Bray are renewing their appeal for information about 'Baby Alannah' whose body was discovered in Bray, Co Wicklow a year ago tomorrow.

On the May 4, 2016 Gardaí at Bray began an investigation following the discovery of the body of the newborn baby girl at the Greenstar recycling facility in the town.

 Her body was removed to Loughlinstown Hospital and a post-mortem examination was conducted on May 5 by the State Pathologist Dr Marie Cassidy.

After no family members came forward, the tragic enfant was laid to rest and the Funeral and burial services was attended by up to 100 people made up of Gardai and staff from the Greenstar recycling plant where little Alannah was found and local people.

A single white dove was released following prayers at the graveside.

Almost 12 months on from the discovery, Gardaí in Bray are today appealing to the mother of Baby Alannah or to anyone  who may have any information that can assist with the investigation to contact them.

Contact Bray Garda Station on 01- 6665300, The Garda Confidential Telephone Line 1800 666 111 or any Garda Station.
