A five-year-old girl who was critically injured in a Dublin stabbing last year has made "huge achievements" in her recovery journey.

The child was one of four victims of an attack outside Gaelscoil Choláiste Mhuire on Parnell Square in the city on November 23.

In an update on their GoFundMe page, the family said their "little big warrior" has hit "great milestones", having started on feeds within the hospital.

The five-year-old has also begun to move her arms "a good bit", the family added.

"She is enjoying her Irish lessons with the hospital school," the family said in an update shared to their GoFundMe page on April 23.

The girl also enjoys watching the Paddington film series "for laughs" as she continues her recovery.

The GoFundMe fundraiser, named "Barróg do Chailín Beag", meaning "A hug for a little girl", has raised over €90,000 since its creation in November.

Over 4,100 people have contributed to the fundraiser to raise money for the victims of the attack.

The attack in November led to a chain reaction of events that saw riots across Dublin city centre.
