The six-year-old, who needs a heart transplant, inspired changes to Northern Ireland's organ donation laws
BBC News NI political correspondent
A six-year-old boy who inspired changes to Northern Ireland's organ donation laws is set to be granted the freedom of Belfast, BBC News NI has learned.It had been delayed due to the political stalemate at Stormont, but the government then stepped in.It will mean from that date, all adults in Northern Ireland will be considered potential organ donors unless they specifically opt out or are part of a group that is exempt.
BBC News NI understands that Dáithí, who is from Belfast, has been put forward for the accolade following a proposal supported by Belfast City Council's Strategic Policy and Resources Committee.It is thought that the official ceremony could then take place in June, after the new changes to organ donation laws commence.A council spokesperson confirmed the move, but said it was still "subject to ratification", and that further details would be announced in due course.
"Dáithí has shown that even at such a young age, he can make a huge difference in the world and help save lives. He is my hero, and I love him with all my heart."
