Young girl injured in Parnell Square stabbing 'doing well' and 'smiling' as she begins rehabilitation
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 is "doing well" as she begins her rehabilitation journey.
The update was shared on the verified GoFundMe set up in the five-year-old girl's name on Wednesday, April 3.
"Hello everyone, our little warrior is doing well," it read.
"She has been through quite a lot, but that hasn't stopped her from smiling and being curious."
"These past weeks have shown us even more so how resilient she is, but also put our own strength into check as we have match her determination."
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".
"We have only begun the rehabilitation phase, and the questions regarding her future and ours are present," Wednesday's update continued.
"Despite all the mights and maybes, we have to believe in her, mainly because she does."
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.
