Riad Bouchaker has pleaded not guilty as jurors hear the case may last up to five weeks.
- On Monday, a jury of nine men and three women was sworn in at the Central Criminal Court in Dublin for the trial of Riad Bouchaker, who pleaded not guilty to eight charges.
- Bouchaker allegedly attempted to murder three children and assaulted a care worker at Parnell Square East in Dublin City on November 23, 2023, using a 36cm kitchen knife.
- Justice Tony Hunt ruled Bouchaker fit for trial but granted accommodations for his "acquired brain injury" and "attention deficits", noting proceedings require "more than ordinary patience".
- Jurors were asked to remain "open minded and objective" throughout the trial, which is expected to last up to five weeks at the Dublin Central Criminal Court.
- The attack occurred hours before rioting erupted in the Irish capital, while Justice Hunt stated the case will be a "lengthy and perhaps painstaking" process.
