Gardaí are presently investigating the circumstances surrounding the discovery of the bodies of a woman and a newborn baby at a residential property in Carrick-on-Suir, Co. Tipperary, on this Friday afternoon.
The discovery was made shortly after lunchtime when a man attended a house in a local housing estate and alerted emergency services.
Gardaí and emergency personnel responded to the scene, which has since been preserved for forensic and technical examination pending the arrival of the State Pathologist.
Preliminary information indicates that the woman may have been the mother of the infant, who appeared to have been recently born.
Investigators have confirmed that all lines of inquiry remain open at this stage. However, sources indicate the incident is currently being treated as a personal tragedy and is being handled with sensitivity and care.
An incident room is being established, and a Family Liaison Officer will be appointed to support relatives and assist with ongoing investigation.
