💙 THREAD 2: Will you spare five minutes to help the lovely Noah Donohoe get the justice he deserves and to support his mummy Fiona in getting the truth about what happened to her beloved son? 💙

[TheRealMrsMac]

My son, Noah Donohoe was an intelligent smart gentle boy. He was 14 years old and he was my only child and my everything.

On 21st June 2020, a bright sunny day, Noah set off on his bike to meet up with his 2 friends but never reached his destination. Instead, Noah was found 6 days later in a storm-drain, naked, in a part of Belfast he did not know.

On the day Noah was found, before Noah was formally identified, the Police did a media release stating that there was ‘No Foul Play’ involved. I ask, if the police are so sure that ‘No Foul Play’ was involved, why are the police now trying to stop me, as Noah’s mummy, getting four files of information on Noah’s investigation?

The Police have applied for a ‘Public Interest Immunity’ certificate, which, if granted, means they can hide four key files in the investigation. Such a certificate is only used in exceptional circumstances and rarely used in the case of a missing child. This certificate has been brought into play in cases where Police intelligence, informers or paramilitaries are involved.

I as Noah’s mummy have, from the very start of Noah being missing, believed that the police did not use all their resources in finding Noah. This was confirmed when it emerged they had not paid anyone overtime while investigating his death. They did little, if any, forensics and any suspects that were brought to their attention were dismissed as not relevant.

I believe that someone harmed my Noah and that there have been serious and repeated failings in the Police investigation of his death. I will never get Justice for Noah if I do not get all the information. These four files are vital for us to get the truth we desperately need, to find out what really happened to my precious son.

I am asking you as the public, some of you as parents, to sign this petition so that Noah gets the justice he truly deserves and to place transparency and accountability where it should rightly be.

Thank you 💙

I will help and support you to get out in actives

What I'm saying is, it's very difficult for people to get to hear about it here on Mumsnet.

Add to that the silence of much of the mainstream media, governments and politicians over nearly two years.

justice for Noah

I hear you.
Very strange and worrying what's happening

💙

As other posters have said, we're not going anywhere, as long as it takes. We're Mumsnetters, some of us for a long, long time. We haven't just come here to do this.

We need a new thread quite quickly as this and the AIBU thread are nearly full, and I'm just thinking the best way to do it.

Please leave some space on here so that I can link. Many thanks 💙

This is just a thought.
As there are so many pages on this original thread.... make a new thread with a shorter title....people who are just browsing could be put off by too many pages to read... hope this doesn't offend you...🙂

Thank you pps

Not offended at all, thank you, catandcoffee - good point. 💙

Signed and shared.

As this thread draws to a close, there are 305,320 good women and men from all communities standing up for Noah and Fiona, doing the right thing and not looking the other way. Will you join them?

Please sign or sign and share the petition, and don't forget to confirm your signature for it to count. The link to the petition is in the OP.

If you would like to help in other ways, please consider emailing, writing to, phoning or speaking to your government representatives - are they aware of Noah's case and what are they doing about it? You could also follow Fiona and her sister Niamh on Twitter: @ FIONADONOHOE2 and @ NiamhDonohoe28. For those in NI with elections coming up, give Noah your vote - by that, I mean which candidates have pledged in writing that they support a new and independent investigation of Noah's disappearance and death, and stand against the use of the Public Interest Immunity certificate.

This is my second petition thread - that's 2000 posts, the vast majority very supportive - and I thank each and every one of you. MNHQ have not felt able to get behind us in supporting this mother by making this a Mumsnet campaign, pinning a thread or at least making the algorithms fairer - at least yet. Despite all our best efforts, the hidden location of the petition topic and the uphill battle of getting the threads into Active - taking up to ten posts and still disappearing out again almost immediately - has made it very difficult indeed to let more Mumsnetters know about Noah and Fiona. For these reasons, I don't intend to start a third petition thread at this time. Anyone else is very welcome to do so, and to use my OP if that helps, if you'd like to. Instead, I'm going to put my energies into this thread here for now, while still supporting the petition:

Please note, we won't be able to post a link to the petition on it for it to stay in AIBU. It does link to this thread, but otherwise will need to be led by discussion and information. Hopefully that will be helped by not needing all the 'bump' posts, at least for a while, and more Mumsnetters will get to know and care about Noah and Fiona and become involved.

Once again, sincerest thanks to everyone. 💙

Niamh Donohoe, Noah's trusted auntie on Twitter:
'1. As suspected the PII Certificate is being finalised by the Coroner Joe McCrisken. Date for production to be confirmed. We have no faith in the inquest process for Noah and will seek further legal recourse when required. Tomorrow we have a Preliminary hearing again via sight link...

1. Next hearing strategically set for the 21st June, Noah's Anniversary. This is another example of the constant disrespect the state show towards us and beautiful Noah. The dates they choose are always significant days in our lives. But we will sit in court that day Joe, no need...
2. ...for sightlink and Noahs Army⚡will be there too. P.S. We respectfully ask for an update on the long awaited and overdue External Police Report that commenced in OCTOBER. It is shocking that we have to always revert to SM to be heard as NO ONE is doing their jobs'.

Thank you 💙

Noah's mummy Fiona Donohoe on Twitter:
'In regards Noah's placards, the police are now looking into this. I really do want to stress, the Shore Rd residents have been so amazing with their support of #JusticeForNoahDonohoe. The minority will not stop our pursuit for truth for beautiful Noah'.

Bump. Justice for Noah.

Bump. Justice for Noah.
