“Prior to her diagnosis we had booked a trip to Rome, Vienna & Budapest, this was to take place on the 23rd of September, 10 days after her first treatment.
“Thankfully she was well enough to go and we had a great time,” he said.
Daniel revealed that Majella has now managed to raise more than €575,000 after appearing alongside Late Late Show host Ryan Tubridy.

He added that he still feels guilty about touring abroad but Majella has instead the show must go on.
“From my point of view it’s been difficult touring all the time and not being able to be with her. But Majella was adamant that I would continue doing the shows.”
