Fourteen-year-old Noah Donohoe went missing for six days in 2020 and was found dead in a storm drain in Belfast, yet there is still no clarity about what happened to him. His mother, Fiona, continues to valiantly fight for justice. Three years ago, thousands of people took to the streets to protest against a public interest immunity certificate which redacted enormous amounts of information. The PSNI's investigation has been littered with failures. It has refused to obtain a water sample from the drain in which Noah was found and the coroner has now been recused. Last Saturday, thousands again took to the streets.

Equally concerning is the fact that other mothers are now coming forward to say their children were killed in shocking circumstances and they have not found justice either. The family of murdered Sean Brown is still fighting for justice in the North and the Government has rightly brought a case to the European Court of Human Rights against the British legacy Bill. What pressure is the Government putting on the authorities in the North and the British Government to ensure Irish people in the North of Ireland achieve justice?
