She is said to have been discharged just before Christmas.
Leanne Flynn Keogh, the hero creche worker who was seriously injured in an
attack outside a school in Dublin city centre in November, has been discharged from hospital, according to reports.
Ms Keogh was one of four victims of the stabbing attack that occurred shortly after 1.30 pm outside Gaelscoil Coláiste Mhuire in Parnell Square East on 23 November.
The other three were a five-year-old boy and two girls aged five and six. The five-year-old girl remains in hospital, while the other two children have been discharged.
The incident sparked a chain reaction of events leading to the
widely condemned night of
rioting in the city centre.
Now, multiple outlets are reporting that Ms Keogh is out of hospital as well.
It is reported that she spent a week in the intensive care unit at The Mater Hospital after the attack before later being transferred to a high dependency unit.
She was subsequently discharged from the hospital just in time for Christmas, the outlets also state.
