A woman aged in her late 30s was arrested on Friday, but gardaí only began questioning her after she was deemed medically fit to be interviewed.

Gardaí have confirmed the woman has since been charged in relation to the child's death, and is due to appear before a special sitting of Waterford District Court on Tuesday evening.

Investigations into the matter remain ongoing.

Matthew's funeral Mass is due to be held in Watergrasshill, Co Cork on Wednesday.
