Can you tell us what she had to say about those events in November of 2023?

The mother also spoke of her and her child's experience in hospital and the subsequent impact of her child's injuries.

What was her account in that regard?

Take me through the prosecution's case and what they're asking of the jury.

So did we hear anything about Mr. Boushaker's defence?

Obviously, this attack happened two and a half years ago.

Obviously, it was massive news at the time.

But in the courtroom, were there many journalists?

And do you think that there's still that same level of interest in this case?

And finally, Catherine, how long is this trial expected to run for?

In 2016, the Healy Ray brothers sailed to a sensational electoral victory in the Kerry Kingdom.

Between them, Michael and Danny secured a remarkable 38% of the vote, cementing the Healy Ray brand as one of the most formidable forces in Irish politics.

Their winning formula quickly became the stuff of legend, divide the county and ensure no Healy Ray vote went to waste.

And it was a stunning success.

Since then, the pair have been an ever constant in Irish political life.
