Riad Bouchaker, of no fixed abode, had been due to stand trial next month, but that has now been vacated pending a report from a neuropsychologist.
He is accused of the attempted murder of three children and the assault of a creche worker in Parnell Street in Dublin on November 23rd last year.
The Central Criminal Court heard lawyers for Mr. Bouchaker are awaiting a report from a neuropsychologist.
Mr. Justice Paul McDermott was handed documents which a barrister for the accused said ‘set out the complexity’ of the work needed to be conducted by the neuropsychologist – which will take until the end of February.
The trial was due to start on January 13th, but the case was adjourned to February 26th for an update.
