Little girl injured in Parnell Square attack hits 'great milestones' in recovery
The five-year-old's family shared an update through the GoFundMe page set up for her
The family of the young girl who was seriously injured in an attack on Parnell Square last November have shared the latest "huge achievements" she has reached in her recovery.
The update was shared on the verified GoFundMe set up in the five-year-old girl's name this Tuesday, April 23.
"Great milestones for our little big warrior - she has started on feeds now (not orally yet) and moving her arms a good bit," the family shared.
"She is enjoying her Irish lessons with the Hospital School," they continued, sharing that the child also "loves watching Paddington 1 and 2 for laughs".
In an update shared on March 4, the family said that doctors were hoping to reintroduce food "into our darling daughter's day" over the next few weeks after "some serious tummy issues".
In a later update, posted on April 4, they thanked the public for "all the love sent our way", and clarified that "our little girl is still in hospital and has no set date for her discharge".
The five-year-old was one of three children who, along with their carer, were injured in a multiple stabbing at Coláiste Mhuire, Parnell Square in November 2023.
A man in his 50s, Riad Bouchaker, has been charged in relation to the attack.
The two other children, aged five and six, and Leanne Flynn, their carer, have all since been released from hospital.
