The young girl was seriously injured in the Parnell Square attack

Writing on GoFundMe, the girl's family confirmed that the family were beginning a 'new chapter'.

A family member wrote: "On Friday, August 30, after 281 days, we were discharged from Temple Street Children’s Hospital. Today we begin a new chapter in our darling’s rehabilitation (or as we call it “The Gym”).

"The hope is that she is able to swallow food, move her arms and legs more purposefully, and utter some more sounds."

Just last month the girl's family spoke out about what happened on that awful day in November.

They explained: "Nine months and five days ago our lives were turned upside down. It started as a normal day (rushing out the door, catching the train, dropping off the child at crèche, running to work).

"At 1.45pm, I got the worst phone call I could ever get: 'Something happened! Your daughter was stabbed in front of the school'.

"I ran over and saw a horrific site. I saw my little girl lying on the ground. Doctors and paramedics trying to get her heart beating and air in her lungs. She was brought back to life by the amazing team at Temple Street Children’s Hospital."

They added: "Some people wonder why it has taken her so long to recover and if she will be the same little girl as before. The human brain is a very complex organ. Deprive it of oxygen for too long and the body suffers.

"The longer it takes to get it working again, the longer it is to regain function. Our little warrior has a few things going for her: she is young, she was a healthy girl before this all happened, she has a great team working with her, a loving family, loving friends, and prayers from all over.

"She has improved so much already during this period. We have learned the beauty of patience and perseverance."
