• Boy under investigation after stabbing at Finglas school Assault (stabbing) · Co. Dublin

  An 11-year-old boy, Mason, was stabbed in the back with a knife at St Finian's National School in Finglas, north Dublin, on 4 March 2025. He suffered a punctured lung, was treated in ICU at Temple Street Children's Hospital, and underwent surgery. The other child involved, also aged 11, cannot be charged as both are below the age of criminal responsibility of 12. Gardaí are conducting a non-criminal investigation into the circumstances of the attack. Mason joined the Ireland men's team training session in March 2025 and will be guest of honour at the Senegal match at the Aviva Stadium in June.
