Riad Bouchaker's terrifying stabbing attack on two girls and a boy in Parnell Square East on 23 November, 2023, sparked a riot in the Irish capital.
Bouchaker, 52, denied any wrongdoing during a trial at the city's Central Criminal Court.
As well as the triple attempted murder, he was convicted of assault causing serious harm to childcare worker Leanne Flynn, who had collected the children from school and was taking them to their after-school.
Ms Flynn was stabbed as she tried to halt Bouchaker's attack before other members of the public came to the group's aid to restrain the knifeman.
After the attack, Ms Flynn said she was taken to the nearby Mater Hospital, placed into an induced coma and underwent two emergency surgeries.
The court heard how the childcare worker had to have her spleen and part of her stomach removed, and also suffered from a collapsed lung.
Bouchaker was also found guilty of assaulting two young children and a teenager, and of producing a 36cm kitchen knife.
Jurors heard how one of the girls now has a "lifelong, life-limiting" condition and requires 24-hour care.
The youngster, who was aged five at the time of the attack, will have to use a wheelchair for the rest of her life and is non-verbal.
Dr Louise Baker, a consultant paediatrician at Children's Health Ireland at Temple Street, told the court the girl suffered a "severe acquired brain injury" caused by oxygen deprivation due to her heart stopping before being saved.
The girl, who Sky News is calling Emily, has to be fed through a PEG tube to her stomach, as she cannot swallow her own saliva safely.
Speaking exclusively in her first broadcast interview to Sky News, Emily's mother said blood drained from her "whole body" when she was told of the attack in a phone call.
She sprinted to the scene and witnessed the emergency crew's resuscitation attempts on the blood-stained pavement.
The mum, who we are calling Jo, said: "I saw her shoes and I saw when they lifted her. I think there were four people holding her body and they had taken her clothes off because of where her injury was.
"It's burned in my memory."
The family has since moved to a new home in south Dublin with ground-floor accommodation as stairs are no longer an option for the girl.
There are medical devices among the toys and dolls. Emily continues to battle her life-changing disability, and the road ahead is difficult.
Her bed houses a menagerie of stuffed toys for precious cuddles; Pyjama Bunny, Crack the Crocodile and a smiling vampire that is somewhat incongruously named Flower.
Jo does voices and accents for each character.
The mum also proudly displays her daughter's vibrant collage of painted footprints - art having been a welcome distraction in the long rehabilitation from her life-changing injuries.
Describing the moment she had to explain to her daughter that she had been injured, while shielding her from the full truth, Jo said: "It was probably one of the hardest things that I had to do to explain to her.
"I just said that she got hurt and that's why she couldn't move the way that she used to or that she wanted to, or she couldn't speak to us the way that she wanted to or that she used to."
In the hours following the stabbing, Dublin city centre erupted in violence.
The attack has been used by anti-immigration activists for their own purposes - held up as an example of the evils of uncontrolled immigration.
What they wouldn't have known is that both Jo and her husband are themselves migrants to Ireland, he from another EU state, Jo from further afield.
Bouchaker did not put forward any evidence in his defence following the prosecution's case.
During the trial, jurors were shown CCTV footage of interviews between him and members of the Irish police service An Garda Síochána in December 2023.
Through an interpreter, Bouchaker said he had been given a "negative decision" by the department of social welfare and explained he felt like "this country is telling me to leave".
He said he was "sick", not in his "right mind", and did not "want to kill or harm the children".
The court heard Bouchaker had brain surgery in 2021 and suffered a further head injury during the interventions of members of the public which required hospital treatment for roughly a month.
Vickrum Digwa, 23, was last month jailed for life for stabbing the 18-year-old to death in December.
The teenager told officers he could not breathe and that he had been stabbed after he was attacked in Southampton.
Officers from Hampshire Constabulary failed to realise he was mortally injured and instead handcuffed him.
The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) has confirmed it is investigating the conduct of two officers.
The IOPC said evidence indicates that both officers - who were the first to arrive at the scene during the evening of 3 December - may have potentially breached the professional behaviour standards of duties and responsibilities, use of force, and discreditable conduct.
The watchdog added: "These relate to potential failures by the officers to recognise that Henry needed urgent medical attention, to immediately act after he said he had been stabbed and he couldn't breathe, and the decision to arrest and handcuff Henry rather than provide immediate first aid."
There is also an indication one of the officers may have breached the standard relating to authority, respect and courtesy, for appearing to dismiss Mr Nowak saying he had been stabbed, the IOPC said.
The watchdog is also looking at whether race or religion played a part in the officers' decision making.
Mr Nowak's family has been told of the decision.
IOPC director of engagement Derrick Campbell said: "We continue to extend our deepest sympathies to Henry's family and friends.
"Our investigators met with Henry's family earlier this month where we were able to discuss our investigation with them in depth, now that criminal proceedings have concluded.
"We are obliged to constantly review the evidence obtained throughout our investigations and assess any indications of potential misconduct for officers involved.
"As a result, two officers will now face gross misconduct investigations.
"There is clear evidence that public confidence in the force may have been seriously harmed by this incident, and that is a factor we must consider when assessing the evidence.
"The serving of gross misconduct notices does not necessarily mean that disciplinary proceedings will follow. At the end of our investigation, we will decide whether any officers should face disciplinary proceedings."
The IOPC said it had expanded its investigation following discussions with Mr Nowak's family, who have lodged formal complaints about the force.
The teenager's father Mark Nowak said the difference between the way the killer and his son were treated was "unbearable".
In response to the IOPC announcement, Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary told Sky News: "We are aware of the latest update from the IOPC and continue to fully co-operate with their independent investigation.
"The officers are currently away from the workplace.
"If they return, they will be placed on directed duties that do not involve any contact with the public."
The boy was seriously injured at Johnsons of Old Hurst, a zoo near Huntingdon, on 18 June. He remains in hospital in a stable condition.
His family said: "We would like to thank the staff at the zoo who rescued our son from the enclosure.
"We are truly grateful for the public support and well-wishes we have received, as well as to everyone who has been directly involved in our son's care and recovery in hospital.
"Our attention remains focused on his recovery and supporting him through this extremely challenging and prolonged period of time."
The boy, from Cambridgeshire, was attacked by at least one crocodile after he ended up in their enclosure. He was "pulled out by staff from the zoo", police said.
He was taken to hospital, where he was initially described as being in a critical condition.
Cambridgeshire Police said the boy "faces a long road to recovery".
A 30-year-old man from Norfolk was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder but was later bailed after he was "assessed as not being fit for interview", Cambridgeshire Police said.
The Tropical House where the crocodiles are kept was closed following the incident, but reopened last week.
The zoo confirmed in a social media post that its "whole site will be fully open" on Saturday, nine days after the boy was allegedly thrown in the pit.
Meanwhile, an investigation has been launched after the medical records of the boy were accessed by around 40 members of hospital staff.
Cambridge University Hospitals (CUH) has referred itself to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) and is investigating whether all the staff members had a legitimate reason for viewing his information.

The Department of Health and Social Care said it is also investigating.
The zoo is home to more than 100 animals, including crocodiles, Bengal tigers, African lions, capybaras, meerkats, and sloth bears, according to its website.
The Tropical House building where the crocodiles are kept is a converted cattle barn.
Amadou Coulibaly said authorities fear the number of dead could rise as searches continue.
Flooding and landslides have followed several days of torrential rainfall which started on Saturday.
Some of the deaths have been in the municipalities of Attecoube and Yopougon in the economic capital Abidjan, according to the minister of national cohesion Myss Belmonde Dogo.
Neighbouring Ghana has also been hit by heavy rains.
At least 12 people have been killed there after flooding in large parts of the country, including the capital Accra.
Buildings and roads were submerged in the city on Monday, cutting off access to several areas of Accra and in the neighbouring city of Tema.
Among the dead were a mother and her child who were both swept away in the Achimota-Agbogbloshie district, said Ghana national fire service spokesperson Alex King Nartey.
Videos of the Accra floods showed residents swimming through water neck-deep to rescue trapped neighbours, while vehicles were abandoned on flooded roads.
Access to affected areas was "a big problem" for the emergency services that had to request the military's help, said the fire service spokesperson. Several neighbourhoods remained partially flooded on Tuesday.
Ghana's national disaster management organisation said emergency calls began being made around 7am on Monday as residents saw floodwater entering their homes.
"The whole place was flooded. It's alarming," said Mariam Dongyela Millah from the disaster agency.
The Ghana Meteorological Agency has urged local people to prepare for more rain this week in Accra.

The two-seat Cessna plane crashed in a field off Mill Lane, Ongar, having earlier taken off from North Weald airfield around seven miles away, Essex Police said.
The incident happened during a "short flight experience".

Detective Chief Superintendent Morgan Cronin, of Kent and Essex Serious Crime Directorate, said: "Yesterday lunchtime, Tuesday, June 30, a small aircraft took off from North Weald airfield on what was expected to be a short journey.
"The two-seat Cessna aircraft was carrying out a short flight experience but sadly it did not return.
"At 12.30pm we were contacted by members of the public who reported a small aircraft had crashed in a field off Mill Lane, Ongar.
"Sadly we can now confirm that the two people on board have died."
Officers said formal identification has yet to take place and that, due to the nature of the incident, this is likely to be a "complex process".
Flight-tracking website Flightradar24 shows the plane took off from North Weald Airfield at 12.22pm and headed eastwards before turning back towards the airfield after five minutes.
The aircraft operated two flights earlier that day, and five the day before, according to the data.
Det Supt Cronin said the investigation continued overnight and detectives and forensic teams are working at the scene in parallel with the Air Accident Investigations Branch.
He said police are also working alongside the fire service, the airfield, and Epping Forest District Council to "build an accurate picture of what happened".
He said officers would remain at the scene carrying out inquiries over the coming days and appealed for witnesses to come forward.
