Leanne Flynn is being hailed as a hero after she shielded children from the stabbing attack outside Gaelscoil Colaiste Mhuire on Parnell Street East in Dublin on November 23. A GoFundMe to support Flynn and the three children who were injured has raised nearly €250k.
A family member of the childcare worker who placed herself between a crazed knifeman and the children he was intent on killing on Parnell Square has called on the public to pray for her.
