Rishi Sunak is to personally present a six-year-old boy who is awaiting a heart transplant with an award recognising his “outstanding” contribution to his community.

The presentation to Dáithí Mac Gabhann is one of the British prime minister’s engagements coinciding with US president Joe Biden’s visit to Northern Ireland.
