Dublin City Council has agreed to hold an event to honour crèche worker Leanne Flynn for her bravery during an attack in Parnell Square in November 2023, according to multiple Irish outlets. TheJournal.ie reports that Flynn was with children on 23 November 2023 when Riad Bouchaker pulled out a knife and began stabbing a five-year-old girl. RTE News and the Irish Mirror say the council’s recognition is intended to express the city’s gratitude for Flynn’s intervention, describing her actions as courageous. RTE also reports that the honour will involve a dedicated event later this year, organised by the council. While the reports focus on Flynn’s conduct and the council’s decision to recognise it, they are consistent that the incident took place in Parnell Square in November 2023 and that Flynn worked at a crèche near the scene. The coverage does not indicate further details about any awards beyond the council-led event.
