All Mumsnetters are warmly invited to post here to remember Noah and in support of Fiona and Niamh. The 3 images I have attached are from his mummy Fiona Donohoe and his auntie Niamh Donohoe.

Some Mumsnetters will have seen my threads and those of other Mumsnetters about beautiful Belfast child Noah Donohoe. At 6.11pm today, it will be 2 years since Noah was last seen alive. It was the last ever day that Noah and his mummy Fiona could exchange a hug and say 'I love you'. Then Noah cycled off to meet his schoolfriends to work on his Duke of Edinburgh Award, but he never arrived. After Noah had been missing for 6 days, his naked body was retrieved from a storm drain.

Noah's mummy Fiona and auntie Niamh are still having to fight very hard for the truth about his death and for justice for Noah. If you haven't already signed, a link to Fiona's petition, so far with 307,442 signatures, can easily be found in the OP of this thread here:

All Mumsnetters are warmly invited to post here to remember Noah and in support of Fiona and Niamh.

All help to keep posting and bumping this thread and the petition thread into Active gratefully received.

Thank you 💙

Thank you @youngestisapsycho 💙

There has been a police investigation, but PSNI style: lazy, shambolic and, similar to the Met, institutionally corrupt and racist.

I don't know if you've watched Fiona's podcast or read the pinned factual Twitter thread but here are the links if not:

I've not heard this story before of poor Noah... so he was found dead, naked in a storm drain and the police have never investigated it?
I've signed the petition and shared.
RIP Noah 💙

IMPORTANT UPDATE FROM FIONA & NIAMH THIS EVENING - PLEASE SEE ATTACHED IMAGES:

As we already knew, at short notice this week and without any explanation, the coroner decided to livestream tomorrow's hearing instead of Fiona, Niamh and their legal team attending the court in person. The coroner has now, at such very short notice today, cancelled the hearing tomorrow. The reason given is that his JUNIOR counsel is unable to attend. Please note that the JUNIOR barrister does not always attend preliminary hearings and it is the senior counsel who speaks on the coroner's behalf. We can come to our own conclusions about why the coroner has now chosen not to go ahead tomorrow at all, as he surely could have done. However a number of important issues have been conveyed to Fiona and Niamh today during a consultation with their legal team, which throw more light on why the coroner seeks to avoid addressing them tomorrow. An urgent rescheduling before the summer recess has been requested, but as yet they do not know when that will be.

There has been a refusal to release Legal Aid funds for the family's own expert witnesses for Noah. Expert witnesses are essential and the coroner has already instructed his own expert witnesses.

This has all obviously devastated Fiona and Niamh, after an already traumatic week including anniversaries for Noah, and having to mentally prepare for tomorrow. But they are the strongest of mothers and women, and they are fighting for their beloved and beautiful Noah. Especially with our support, they will not be beaten.

Fiona and Niamh ask that the peaceful show of support at Langanside Courts, Belfast at 2pm tomorrow still goes ahead. Please attend if you can. 💙
