It's a disgusting and hateful thing to say. But unless it was incitement, I don't see why it should be illegal to say it.

The principal of Gaelscoil Cholaiste Mhuire has requested privacy for the school community after yesterday's harrowing ordeal.

Three pupils and a creche worker were amongst those injured in the stabbing incident on Parnell Square. A five year old girl is fighting for her life in Temple Street Hospital while the creche worker, aged in her 30s, was also seriously injured.

Principal Pol Hansard said the school community are "deeply shocked and saddened" following yesterday's harrowing attack. Pupils will also receive psychological support due to the distressing nature of the incident.

The principal acknowledged: "Offers of support have been pouring in and are greatly appreciated. Psychologists from the National Educational Psychological Service (NEPS) have been with us, supporting and advising the staff in our efforts to assist our school community."

Two other young pupils were left with less serious injuries following the stabbing. A five-year-old boy has since been released from Crumlin Hospital while a six-year-old girl continues to receive treatment there.

Fair enough.

I can agree with hate speech being allowed to a point, because I personally see it as a debate to try and understand these types of people, and hopefully get them to understand why hating certain groups is wrong imo.

However I do feel uncomfortable once it starts getting to the threatening level.

Some guy stabbed a little 5 year old innocent girl in the neck with a knife for no reason. Among others he stabbed with a knife.

That's by a million miles the worst crime here in this situation.

The answer we need is, what was his motivation for this attack?

Yes,
Evil Terrorist.

The knife attack was a heinous crime, but I will never understand why destroying and terrorising your own city is seen as an appropriate response by some members of society. The only people that suffer as a result are innocent Irish people trying to lead their lives. There has to be a better way.

I've already compared it to the riots than span-off from the BLM protests, and it's similar in that neither achieved anything, were needlessly destructive, and only caused hurt.

…some excellent points this guy is making…/…opening up discussion of possible escalating causes and contributions etc…/…rather than closing down any factors that should openly be discussed…which can become accusations and hostilities, rather than what they should be when we consider any factors that can lead up to the heightened feeling in Dublin recently…

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.
