Crowd turns out for Daniel’s removal

MURDERED teenager Daniel McAnaspie had suffered a lot of pain and sadness in his short life, mourners at his removal heard in Dublin last evening.

A large crowd turned out in heavy rain in Daniel’s home suburb of Finglas to attend the brief ceremony for the popular 17-year-old. More than 400 mourners packed into the Church of the Annunciation in Finglas West to hear Fr Peter McVerry describe how Daniel’s life had been “very prematurely destroyed”.

“We should not be here. Daniel’s death was an unnecessary, tragic end to his life,” said the priest.
