An 11-year-old boy was fatally wounded after he was chased straight out in front of a car because he was a member of the Travelling Community, his father claimed tonight.

Daniel Maughan died from severe head injuries in Beaumont Hospital on February 19, 2004 almost a month after he cycled out in front of a car on the Rathbeale Road in Swords, Co Dublin.
