Well , you're live with BBC news .
Let's return to that breaking story coming out of Dublin that three young Children have been taken to hospital .
Uh , Irish police said there had been a serious public order incident in the city centre , which local media is saying is a multiple stabbing .
The injuries to one of the Children and a woman are described as serious .
A witness spoke to reporters at the scene .
Let's just have a quick listen .
I looked across the road and I seen a man in a stab in motion where a lot of Children .
So I flew across the road .
And then he the man was after stabbing 222 Children as far as I could make out .
And we got the Children up to the left with the women that was there and the teachers , I presume .
And then there was a bit of a hub of Belo , if you want to call it for the man .
People were trying to attack the man .
So me and another American lady we formed a ring around the man just to say that we're not savages in this country that we left the guard to do their duty .
And then , um , about three minutes later , the fire , the ambulance came for the Children and then another ambulance and fire officers came for the man on the ground .
Well , let's go to our Ireland correspondent Chris Page and Chris tell us more , as you heard there just how distressing it was for anybody caught up in the incident in Dublin City Centre this afternoon .
We know that five people are being treated in hospital a man , a woman and three Children , and according to the Irish police called the Garda Siochana , the woman and one child a girl are seriously injured , the man and two other Children less seriously injured .
The police have said they are not looking for anybody else in connection with this at this time .
They have indicated they don't believe this was terrorist related in any way .
And my colleagues at the Irish national broadcaster RT have been saying that it's understood a man attacked a woman .
He is now being treated in hospital .
He was injured himself , and police are waiting to talk to him .
So police say they are following a definite line of inquiry .
For the moment , the scene in the city centre , Parnell Square East remains cordoned off .
There's a school nearby and some parents have been allowed to go through the cordon to pick up their Children .
Understandably , many people are extremely alarmed and the police say they have been in touch with the parents of the three Children who have been injured .
The Irish prime minister , the Taoiseach Leo Varadkar , has said that his thoughts and prayers are with everybody affected , that he's being kept up to date on what's happening and he's praised the emergency services , who he said were on the scene very quickly .
Indeed , the Irish justice minister , Helen McEntee , has said the attack was shocking and appalling and her thoughts also within particular the three innocent Children who have been injured .
So a great deal of shock , as you would expect in Ireland's capital city Dublin this afternoon .
The police are continuing their investigation , some disruption to traffic in the city centre , the incident happening at a place where a lot of public transport routes converge and also close to one of Dublin's main shopping streets , O'Connell Street .
But the police say they're not looking for anybody else .
They have ruled out terrorism and we're expecting further updates .
Chris Page , Thanks very much .
Thank you .
