Extra: 'Is she dead?' - mother’s emotional testimony as Parnell Square stabbing trial begins  

On the afternoon of November 23, 2023, in Dublin’s Parnell Square, three children were seriously injured following a stabbing attack in broad daylight. Riad Bouchaker (52) was arrested and charged in connection with the incident, and now, two-and-a-half years on, his trial is under way at the Central Criminal Court. Day one of proceedings saw the prosecution lay out its case against Mr Bouchaker, as well as hearing testimony from the mother of one of the children who was injured. She told the jury that her child is now in a wheelchair, is non-verbal and only able to answer yes or no questions by blinking.On this Extra episode of The Indo Daily, host Tessa Fleming is joined by Irish Independent special correspondent Catherine Fegan, who takes listeners inside the courtroom.

‘No Irish need apply’: Scéal na nÉireannach i Sasana

Ó Learphoill go cathair Londain - is fada scéal an imirce go Sasana. Leis an glúnta, chuir easpa deiseanna sa tír seo iachall ar dhaoine imeacht, agus ba í an Bhreatain an chéad stad do cuid mhaith acu agus iad ag cuartú saol níos fearr dóibh féin. Le linn an chéad seo caite, bhí na hÉireannaigh ag croílár tionscadail tógála sa Bhreatain, ach taobh leis an obair sin, bhí leithcheal, imeallú agus droch-chlú a lean iad ar feadh i bhfad. Mar sin, cén tionchar a bhí ag an imeallú seo ar na pobail Éireannacha ar fud na Breataine? Agus cén chuma a bhí ar an saol i ndáiríre dóibh siúd a rinne an turas trasna Mhuir Éireann? Tá taispeantas nua san Epic Museum i mBaile Átha Cliath a dhéanann iniúchadh ar na ceisteanna seo agus ar scéal na n-imirceach i Sasana. Chun an stair seo a fhiosrú, labhair Seachtain leis an staraí eacnamaíochta Cormac Ó Gráda - duine acu siúd atá taobh thiar den taighde don taispeantas seo - le súil siar a chaitheamh ar shaol na nÉireannach i Sasana. Foclóir: An Réabhlóid Thionsclaíoch: Industrial revolution Táille: Fee An chosmhuintir: The common people Spáilpíní: Nomadic farmworkers Díspeag: Belittle Coitianta: Common Éirimiúil: Intelligent Ag toraíocht: Searching Achrann: Dispute Sloinnte: Surnames Meán: Average Maoiniú: Financing Eachtrannaigh: Foreigners Bhí fonn orthu: They were keen to Todhchaí: Future Ag maolú: Petering out Naimhdeas: Animosity Sofheicthe: Visible Léirsithe: Demonstrations Inimirce: Immigration Ganntanas oibrithe: A lack of workers
