@rtenews: The mother of the young girl seriously injured in the Parnell Square attack says she does not know if Riad Bouchaker ‘even understands what he did’. Speaking to Sky News, she said she will never know what her daughter would have been like if her life had progressed in a natural way because Bouchaker ‘stole that from her’. Her five-year-old daughter was the most seriously injured in the attacks and has been left with a severe, life-long brain injury after Bouchaker stabbed her in the heart. “I think he has to forgive himself first,’ the mother said. She said she feels no anger toward Bouchaker because “it’s not going to change anything". 52-year-old Riad Bouchaker has been found guilty of the attempted murder if three children at Parnell Square in Dublin three years ago. #RiadBouchaker #ParnellSquare

Jesus this woman is incredibly intelligent and emotionally grounded. Fair play to her, that child clearly has a great mother and I have every confidence she will guide her daughter through this challenging years ahead as she learns to deal with this trauma.

someone who does something so appalling doesn't have to be forgiven, I don't think it's a fair question. This mother and her little child have to live with the actions of the man for life. I'm so sorry this happened 😭 the unfairness of it
