Gardaí at Millstreet in Galway, in conjunction with social services, are investigating an incident involving a four-year-old girl.
The child fell from a window on the third story of the Maigh Riocaird apartment block on the Headford Road at around 9pm last night. The girl was alone at the time.
She was taken to University College Hospital in Galway where she was treated for a broken collarbone.
Gardaí say a bush broke her fall and that her injuries could have been much more serious. The girl remains in hospital today.
