The Minister for Education has commended the bravery of the teachers, the carer and the passer-bys following an attack in Dublin City which saw three children and a woman injured on Thursday afternoon. 

Norma Foley said there was "incredible selflessness" from those involved and that it was "quite remarkable that in the midst of such unexpected, such unprecedented actions in Parnell Square, that the instinct to do right, to do good by the passers-by, by the staff it was quite exceptional."
