A 50-year-old man has been charged with the attempted murder of three children and with causing serious harm to a care worker at Dublin’s Parnell Square last month.
A five-year-old girl remains in hospital following the stabbing. The two other children were released from hospital while a crèche worker was also seriously injured during the incident.
Riad Bouchaker, of no fixed abode, appeared before Judge Brian Smyth at Dublin District Court on Thursday afternoon in relation to an incident at Parnell Square East on November 23rd.
Counsel for the defendant said Arabic is his client’s primary language, and an interpreter was present.
The media has also been directed not to report the identity of Mr Bouchaker's legal team due to "safety concerns", and the order was continued in court on Thursday.
