The Taoiseach is correct in saying that the rule of law is a key part of any country being a liberal democracy and a part of the international community. However, there are still key questions in relation to the rule of law in the North of Ireland. June is also the anniversary of the death of Noah Donohoe. Three years ago, Noah Donohoe, a 14-year-old boy, was found dead in a storm drain in Belfast. The PSNI called off the search for Noah within 24 hours of the boy going missing. CCTV footage taken 14 hours before Noah went missing was inexplicably withheld from the family for two years. We have a situation where we are not sure even when the coroner's office received the CCTV footage. The Secretary of State for Northern Ireland issued a public interest immunity certificate, which allows for whole chunks of information about the case to be redacted. The Donohoe family have made three complaints to the PSNI ombudsman in relation to the investigation. As the co-guarantor of the Good Friday Agreement and a supporter of the rule of law, the Irish Government has a role to play in making sure that the family of Noah Donohoe has justice, that at least that the process of justice is delivered properly and by the rule of law. There are major questions as to whether the British Government is delivering justice, truth and fairness in its investigations into the death of Noah Donohoe. I ask the Taoiseach to make representations to the British Government to make sure that is actually happening.

I thank Deputy Tóibín for raising the issue of Noah Donohoe and my thoughts are with his family. I am reluctant to talk too much about any individual case. I am conscious of the processes and the independence of the PSNI from political interference as one would expect, just like An Garda Síochána in this jurisdiction. However, I am always happy and eager to hear from families and people who have concerns about how they have been treated regarding our State institutions or in our role as co-guarantor of the Good Friday Agreement.

I do not want to cut across any specific process other than to say that we, as a Government, will continue to speak up for human rights, for a victim-centred approach to legacy and absolutely for the support of the rule of law. We take very seriously our role as co-guarantor of the Good Friday Agreement and I look forward to having a conversation with the British Government in July about how we can both work together in that constructive partnership approach that is so important to peace on this island and on these islands.
