A jury has been sworn for the trial of Riad Bouchaker, who denies trying to murder three children in Dublin city centre three years ago.

The trial judge told prospective jurors at the Central Criminal Court on Monday that it was “inevitable” they may have been exposed to the “significant degree of publicity” about what happened after the events of November 23, 2023 on Parnell Square.
