Daniel’s surprise care home visits

Elderly residents of a Kerry nursing home had their prayers answered when Daniel O’Donnell made a surprise visit, performing a private gig and singing a blessing to residents.

The Donegal crooner took time out from his recent week-long sold-out residency in Killarney to call into two of the town’s nursing homes and three day care centres.

The 50-year-old, who made the visits privately, thrilled residents by posing for photographs with them, chatting at length and then singing a number of his most famous hits.
