A court has heard that a 15-year-old boy was repeatedly stabbed after defending a young girl who was being bullied over Facebook comments.
Two young men and one of their sisters will be sentenced tomorrow for their roles in what happened at a park in Dublin five years ago.
The attack took place at a park in Raheny in September 2015.
