A vigil has been held for a young boy after human remains were found in a search for him in Co Dublin.

Daniel Aruebose had not been seen for several years, and would have been seven if he had lived.

Concerns for the boy were raised by the child and family agency Tusla on August 29th.

Last week, An Garda Síochána uncovered human skeleton remains after an extensive search of an area of open ground in the Donabate area, from September 1st.

Gardaí said they believed the remains belonged to Daniel, ahead of formal identification and DNA analysis.

On Sunday, crowds gathered for a vigil at Donabate Green.

Candles were lit, and blue and white balloons were released in his memory.

Poems were read, and prayers said for Daniel.
