## Summary

Riad Bouchaker, convicted of attacking children and a childcare worker outside a Dublin school in 2023, suffered a stroke after collapsing in prison last month. Parents of the injured children have been told he remains in hospital, ahead of his scheduled sentencing hearing on 16 November.

The 52-year-old was convicted by a jury of all charges after denying attempted murder and assault offences. His defence had argued that a life sentence would be inappropriate because of his intellectual disability; the court also heard he has a brain injury and regular seizures. One child suffered catastrophic brain injuries and will need round-the-clock care for life.
