Gardaí searching for a child who went missing when he was three years old have found human remains at a site in Donabate, north Dublin.
Confirming that skeletal remains had been discovered, Garda HQ also named the boy as Daniel Aruebose.
It is the first time he has been named since his disappearance and assumed death was placed under investigation three weeks ago.
Gardaí believe the boy died about four years ago and commenced a criminal investigation last Friday week when the alarm was first raised. The investigation has been trying to establish precisely when the boy was last seen alive.
