A woman who found a two-week-old baby in Dublin 21 years ago wants to be reunited with the child.

Emma Doherty made the discovery when she heard the baby crying. She was just 15 at the time.

Ms Doherty checked the baby to make sure he wasn't injured: "There was a baby bag with a warm bottle and a letter. So my friend grabbed that and I grabbed the baby. My sister came out and asked 'what are you kicking the door for? The baby is asleep.'"

The guards allowed Emma to go to the hospital with the baby: "I thought I was going to be keeping him!"

Emma named the baby before she left: "I called him Christopher Leon."

Unfortunately, Emma doesn't know what happened to him afterwards: "I just want to know that he's safe, that he's ok, that he's happy. If he wanted to meet up with me, I would love that."

Here is her interview with Jonathan Healy on Lunchtime in full:
