A teenage boy has been charged with assault after a youth was seriously injured in a stabbing outside a Leaving Cert party in Dublin.
The incident happened as more than 150 young people attended an exam results celebration at Vela nightclub, at Liffey Valley, west Dublin, on 3 September.
Emergency services were called to the scene at about 12.30am and a youth in his late teens was rushed by ambulance to James Connolly Memorial Hospital in a critical condition.
A 16-year-old boy, whose identity cannot be reported because he is a minor, appeared at the Dublin Children's Court today over the incident.
He is accused of assault causing harm to a male at the Vela nightclub car park. He was also charged with possessing a knife as a weapon six days later at another location in west Dublin.
There was no application for bail. Judge Brendan Toale remanded the boy to the Oberstown detention centre until his next hearing on 19 September.
