A 50-year-old man has been charged with attempted murder in relation to a stabbing attack outside a primary school in Dublin last month.
Riad Bouchaker, of no fixed abode, appeared before Dublin District Court on Thursday afternoon.
Four people were injured – three children and a school care worker – in the attack at Parnell Square East on 23 November.
One of the children and the school care worker were seriously hurt.
The incident led to rioting which resulted in the biggest deployment of public order police in the history of the Irish state.
Mr Bouchaker has been charged with eight offences.
He was taken to hospital in the immediate aftermath of the attack but, according to Irish broadcaster RTÉ, was discharged on Wednesday morning and taken into custody.
The attack took place outside Gaelscoil Cholaiste Mhuire in the early afternoon as children were waiting to be picked up after class.
A five-year-old boy who suffered minor physical injuries was discharged from hospital within hours of the attack.
A six-year-old girl sustained head injuries and had to undergo surgery, but was later also released from hospital.
A five-old-girl and the school care worker, who is in her 30s, were described as critically ill in the days after the stabbing.
They are both still in hospital.
