The child was rushed to Temple Street Children's Hospital on 2 July last after suffering a head injury, burns, bites, swelling as well as bruising, at her north Dublin home.

The accused provided accounts which have allegedly been rebutted by gardaí who have obtained CCTV and phone data evidence, she said.The girl suffered burns, bites, swelling and bruising and due to the location, pattern and the nature of the injuries, they were not accidental or self-inflicted, Detective Garda O’Brien said.

The court heard that for a number of years only the father visited the girl before they were reunited with their children in Ireland. The detective said objections in relation to the father’s bail application were almost identical. She said a 999 was made two or three hours before emergency services were contacted. The call lasted three seconds and hung up, she said.

His clients disputed the garda’s version of events, and would abide by whatever conditions the court required.

Imported human garbage

Turf them back from whatever vile and inhuman place they came from, too many incidents happening to children going through courts

'Fled their home country in 2012'.....

Ship the animals back to their home country for a crowd to give a warm welcome with a bunch of stones, a bag and a hole in the ground.

Burns bites? Omg bloody animals, god help those other kids and what they must have gone through, lynching too good for them!

They should bring back hanging for cases like this.

We continue to pray for the little one🙏
