Daniel was living at the Drishane Direct Provision Centre, and had just finished 3rd class in Millstreet Boy’s National School. His classmates held a memorial service for him at the school, and had a game of soccer after because that’s what he loved.

A tree was planted at the side of the school in his honour. This plaque is in the ground at the base of the tree.
