Noah Donohoe was a bright, happy 14-year-old boy with a loving mother. He went missing on 21 June 2020. Shockingly and tragically, he was found dead in a storm drain in Belfast some days later. Since then his family have been seeking answers to the circumstances surrounding his death. The PSNI has actively sought to withhold information surrounding his death and instead has put more effort into questioning and potentially prosecuting his mother for holding a memorial walk. The PSNI seeks a public interest immunity certificate. These certificates have traditionally been used by the authorities to protect the identity of an informant in a paramilitary context. More than 280,000 people have signed a petition that Noah's mam collected, calling for the files to be released. Will the Taoiseach raise this issue with the British Government in order that the PSNI ensures that justice is achieved for Noah?

I thank the Deputy for raising the issue. I am conscious of the fact it is under investigation by the PSNI. We do not have jurisdiction over the PSNI so there would be practical difficulties in what we can do here. I will reflect on what the Deputy has said and see how best we can go about raising the issue.
