Olivia’s classmates have been sharing their memories of her on social media.

They have also been receiving counsellin­g since returning to school following her death, her headteache­r said.

Rebecca Wilkinson, head of St Margaret Mary’s Catholic Junior School in Huyton, said the youngster “oozed kindness” and would be remembered for her smile.

“We have had counsellor­s in every class,” she said.

“We have been so proud of the resilience the children have shown since they’ve been back.”

Mourners wore the youngster’s favourite pink at her funeral last month.

A MAN who allowed his identity to be used in a scheme to obtain a passport for a senior member of a British crime gang has been handed an eight-month jail sentence.

The court heard that Dean Kelly (46) was a “donor” who allowed an applicatio­n for a passport to be made in his name for use by a third party.

Kelly, with an address at Deerpark Road, Kiltipper, Dublin, pleaded guilty to one count of falsifying informatio­n and documents for a passport on March 5, 2020.

Matter

Kelly, who 45 previous conviction­s, was on bail at the time and is serving a sentence on a separate matter.

Garda Det Padraig Hanley yesterday told Dublin Circuit Criminal Court yesterday the Passport Service contacted gardai in July 2020 as an attempt had been made to obtain a passport in the name of Dean Kelly.

However, the photo submitted with the applicatio­n and on the Public Service Card were of another person, who Det Hanley identified as a member of an organised crime group in Liverpool.

Interviewe­d by gardai, Kelly accepted he could be seen on CCTV, but made no other admissions.
