    Parnell Square. The rte news alert link I received mentions a gaelscoil in the area so possibly something to do with that. I don’t think I’d like to speculate any further without details

    Stuff happens - unfortunately it's life.

    No need to panic, I would suggest, report states the attacker has been aprehended.

    Best wishes to those injured etc

    I didn't say there was "nothing to see here" - but theres no need to get "slightly panciky".

    The judges of Ireland have no problem with people beating up people or stabbing people not to mention free legal aid solicitors who love scum bags ….our politicians will turn a blind eye ☹️

    No, this doesn't just happen.

    I did not grow up in a country where small children were stabbed on the street.

    Our society has become more violent, tense and unhappy.

    And we all know it.

    People on the reddit thread, claiming up to several kids stabbed and one man was arrested.

    No confirmation on this at all, obviously lot of confusion and worry at the moment.

    Absolutely horrifying news though. Hoping the kids are okay and nothing too serious or obviously fatal.


    Edit: Sky News mentioning 3 kids

    Fcuk Putin. Glory to Ukraine!

    Sad to hear in this day in age. Hope kids are ok. This is gonna put more pressure on Harris and McEntee, absolutely useless Justice Minister. Of course the courts, judges and politicians are so far out of touch with reality.

    Children getting stabbed on the street in broad daylight. Nothing to panic about. Only on boards.

    Man arrested and is being treated at the scene for injuries, either self inflicted or someone or some people got a hold of him.

    Hopefully the kids are okay, horrific for them.

    She’ll have to be filmed walking around Parnell Sq with a few Gardai in order to demonstrate how there’s nothing to worry about here.

    Only good aspect of this story is that it's right beside O'Connell Street and ambulances and paramedics would have been there within a couple of minutes and able to help the injured.

    what could you actually do to prevent some nutter losing their mind and stabbing people though? invest in mental health services? there's a guy with what looks like schizophrenia who just rambles around the streets where i live all day, that should be in a home of some sort for his own and everyone else's safety

    Horrific incident. Hope everyone gets good hospital care and really noone dies.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Ok,

    Of course it's not normal or expected or wanted.

    However I was moreso trying to suggest that the OP may be over-reacting a but by saying their were slightly paniced by it.

    Life is gonna be very difficult if something that you read online makes you slightly paniced.

    There are other emotions you might go through but panic?


    I suggested that the attacker was caught (which he has) and wished the injured well.

    What exactly do people expect from posts on internet messaging boards these days. Thought I had covered all the bases.

    That got me too. The fear going through the heads on those parents till they reunite with their kids

    Fingers and ties crossed that all the victims will be ok.

    Old Colaiste Mhuire that was up near Granby Row is gone but there is still a Gaelscoil called Colaiste Mhuire. It is on Parnell Square East.

    Hopefully this doesnt result in any fatal injuries. The motives for attack dont matter for the next few hours. Thoughts with families.

    There's a youthreach building there. Images look to be outside its door or adjacent to it. Not sure this is related to any school.

    Apparently, this individual was disarmed by some young men who stopped the attack - well done to them, if that's the case.

    Gardai say they are "following a definite line of enquiry", so that would rule out a random or terrorist attack.

    Rumours that a couple of young men passing tackled the attacker and let's say 'danced on him'

    A girl is apparently in a very bad way according to RTE Radio.

    Please God no fatalities.

    The issue is never the issue; the issue is always the revolution.
