A five-month-old girl has been found "safe and well" in Dublin city centre following an earlier Child Rescue Ireland alert.

Gardaí received a report just before 2pm today of the hijacking of a Silver Nissan Qashqai Hatchback from Mountjoy Square in Dublin 1.

The five-month-old was in the car at the time. The car was hijacked by a man who was not known to the baby or her family.

A CRI alert was issued just before 4pm. Gardaí said she was found "safe and well" around 20 minutes later.
