The 5-year-old girl who was seriously injured in a stabbing attack in Dublin last November has been returned to intensive care.
An update posted on a gofundme page setup in support of the little girl and her family said that there had been a “setback” in the girl’s progress.
“We had a bit of a setback and are currently in the ICU once more.” it said.
It continued, “Bumps in the road, particularly this long one, are to be expected.”
“Nevertheless we are still positive and hoping to get back on the ward.
Fingers crossed.”
The little girl was the most severely injured after the incident which took place on the 23rd of November last outside Colaiste Mhuire on Parnell Street.
Algerian national Rashid Bouchakar (50) has been charged in relation to the incident and remains in custody.

He was also charged with assault causing harm to another male child and a girl as well as production of a 36cm kitchen knife.
