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.

He added: "We would ask you to respect our privacy at this time.”
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.
