A huge garda alert is in place.
Gardaí have urged the public to look out for a car that was stolen with a baby girl inside.
Just before 2 pm on Monday afternoon, the baby’s mother was standing outside her car in the Gardiner Street area of the city when a man hijacked the vehicle with a baby in the back seat.
The car is a silver Nissan Qashqai with a 10 D 21328 number plate. It is understood to have a dog cage visible from the back window.
The car took off onto Dorset Street. It’s been reported that the suspect was wearing a baseball cap and dark clothing.
The baby has since been identified as Daisy Hall, who is five months old.
A garda spokesperson said:

“This vehicle was last seen in the Mountjoy Square area of Dublin City Centre at approximately 1:50pm this afternoon.
