Anything Goes With James English - The Noah Donohoe Story (TW)

[TheRealMrsMac]

This is from James' series of podcasts and is subtitled 'I Want Answers For My Son'. Noah was a 14 year old school boy who went missing in June 2020. Tragically, his body was found six days later. Many questions remain about what happened to Noah. James is in conversation with Fiona Donohoe, Noah's mummy. TW - please be aware that, understandably, it is a tough watch.

"We're still collecting donations. On the 5th August 2023 we'd raised £167,158 in 49 days. But as every pound matters, we're continuing to collect donations from supporters.
People still donating but we made it and you did It!
We did it - Nearly 112% of our target. You have all contributed to a tremendous campaign - a community endeavour and one which has delivered for this cause. We are working hard as we speak to deliver on our promises to you and we are committed to giving Noah the investigation he deserves in his name and in the name of all future missing children. Donations are still coming in and I'll come back with a fuller update after the weekend but everyone who has donated and supported this campaign from a pound to £5000 - those who have donated numerous times, handed in donations from door to door collections, fundraisers and events - we are immensely grateful for all your good work and amazing donations.
In due course, all the rewards will be delivered when available and most importantly our investigation and the documentary will be available and made available to you all. You have inspired us all and we cannot wait to continue our work for you all , on your behalf and most of all for Noah and his family.

"We are still receiving donations!
The Crowdfunding organisation has continued to receive donations to the campaign for our stretch target because from their stats they can see that people are still visiting the page and are still keen to donate. You will know that the initial sum of £150k was to guarantee the completion of the film and the investigation. This has now been reached. Obviously, any extra funds will make it better and easier to hire experts and to do a range of tests and reconstructions that the PSNI have not done and the Coroner has not directed done. We feel these are important to include or exclude lines of inquiry. Thank you for continuing to believe in us. After this campaign on this site is over we'll continue to raise additional funds with fundraising dinners and other events and we will keep you posted. Details about the rewards and the timings will be released in due course but obviously centre around the completion of the project and its release after the inquest.
Many thanks for now and I look forward to keeping you all up to speed with more updates and developments in due course.

Noah Donohoe: Man who 'hounded' schoolboy's mother sentenced - BBC News

This report, quite rightly, doesn't detail the worst of it and I won't detail it here. He has not been the only troll, to lesser or similar degrees, even on here as we know. He lives very close to where Noah disappeared and was found.

Update:
Donations so far: £178,545

This includes a donation of £5,000 from The Hillsborough Justice Campaign. It is so inspiring to see veterans of the fight against institutional injustice getting behind Noah's cause.

All donations still welcome, however small, on the website Crowdfunder for The Independent Noah Donohoe Investigation Fund.

Simon Byrne - PSNI Chief Constable - has resigned. It's a pity he didn't resign or wasn't sacked over the handling of young Noah Donohoe's disappearance and death, but I'm glad Byrne has gone at least and at last. He's not the only one who should resign or be sacked over the handling of Noah's case, of course, but one down and all that. 💙

We are limited in what we can currently post by law, with the inquest due later this year.

Remembering Noah today, 4 years on from that fateful day, and thinking of his family, friends and supporters. 💙

Update Noah Donohoe Investigation

Dear all
You might have read yesterday that the Coroner has recused himself in respect of the inquest into Noah's death after an application from the Next of Kin's legal team, KRW Law. He has now reset the proposed inquest date for February 2025. You might remember that the inquest was first scheduled for January 2021. I think that this new date might, however, stick.
There are strict instructions from the Attorney General and the Coroner, against releasing any material or information related to the case into the public domain including the manner and matter of the Coroner's recusal.
Our hands are tied about what we can say concerning even the most banal details until after the inquest. However, we can say we are working hard and making progress and that there have been significant insights and developments in our investigation. We are continuing to conduct more technical testing, reconstructions, and environmental testing among other tasks with the explicit intention of giving Noah the investigation he deserves and the investigation he is entitled to.
Many thanks for all your support and for making this investigation possible.
We are getting there and making meaningful progress!
Donal
