Daniel’s remains were recovered from Donabate, in North Dublin, last September and a homicide investigation was launched in December.

He was reported missing after authorities discovered in August that he had not been seen for several years.

Gardaí conducted a weeks-long search in the Donabate area before his remains were found in an area of open ground.

Ireland’s child and family agency, Tusla, had interacted with Daniel’s family but closed its engagement with his parents after a temporary fostering arrangement ended.

His case prompted a series of "well-being checks" carried out on thousands of Tusla files, as well as a rapid review of the boy’s case.

Daniel would have turned eight on December 12.

Gardaí say a file will be prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions.

Investigations are ongoing.
