A three-year-old girl who was on life-support after an alleged assault in her home in Co Dublin at the weekend has died.
The child was taken to hospital by ambulance with a Garda escort after emergency services were called to a house in Aubrey Grove, Shankill, south Dublin, at about 4.15pm on Saturday.
The girl was being treated in Our Lady's Children's Hospital in Crumlin, Dublin, where she was in an induced coma. However, her life-support was withdrawn on Tuesday morning and she was pronounced dead.
A woman in her 40s was charged with assault when she appeared at a special sitting of Bray District Court on Sunday evening.
