Gardaí said the child, who is a number of weeks old, was taken to Temple Street Hospital in Dublin to be treated for serious, non-life threatening, injuries.

Gardaí are trying to establish if there was a disturbance at the property between two people and if the baby was injured at that time.

Garda Headquarters in Dublin’s Phoenix Park confirmed officers had been called to an incident at a house in Ashbourne at 7am on Monday.

The alleged disturbance and the circumstances in which the injuries were sustained by the baby are both being investigated by gardaí.
