If I could change things now, I would... I wouldn't have let him go. I wouldn't have let him go. I would have made him stay for dinner. I would have made him stay for dinner and I would have said to him to make arrangements for another day. We've counted 180 CCTV cameras along Noah's route. And as far as we know from the place, there's only about 22 cameras that have Noah on footage. My child was still missing. Nobody knew where Noah was and they didn't even take her to the police station and ask her questions about how that app top came to be in her bedroom. 6-11 was the last time he was seen. He was naked and he was run and he was exhausted. And he was run and exhausted naked. And I have to stress this, just a minority and there's always a minority and either sides, Catholic and Protestant, are very racist. How did my baby know that storm drain existed and also know that the storm drain was unlocked? How did my baby know that? If they tell me that, if they prove to me that, then I will, and I've said to everybody, I will start listening to what they're saying, but it doesn't make sense to me. You don't know what deserves. You know what deserves the truth. I believe somebody harmed my baby. I believe somebody harmed my baby. I just don't want to think about it. But I think the police believe that's what the outcome would be. If a truth came out that paramilitaries were involved. And we're on. Today's guest we've got Fiona Donohoe. How are you Fiona? Okay I'm good. Thanks for speaking with me James. Yeah we've been speaking quite a bit and we just feel as if it's time now to try and shed more light on your son Noah who is sadly taking from you. And 21st June 2020 is that correct? Yeah. There's a lot of unanswered questions. And today you just want to get as much information out there for people to maybe reach out and give you some closure and give you the answers that you need. First and foremost how are you Fiona? I tell you truth I am angry. I'm angry. I'm sad. But the angers burn me on. They get answers for Noah and that's why I'm sad with you James is they just make some sense of what happened unless he never came home on the 21st of June when he should have. I'll always go back to the start of my guest first Fiona. Get a bit of understanding about you and your life and so we can put all the pieces together where people can simplify it for a lot of people and people can get your answers that you need. But let's go back to where you were born and where you were raised. Yeah. Well I was brought up in Sturban's, Cointetrone's just on the border, Donegal with my family. There was five of us, five children. I left to go to university in Southampton and I didn't finish it. I went on to do other things and then went to America as a nanny and then looking after elderly and I became pregnant with Noah so came back because I was illegal over there so I wanted the best opportunities for Noah and I wouldn't have been able to give that to him over there. I did come back and stay in Sturban with Noah for a few years but my thing was always to be a good role model for my son and so there's not much work in Sturban so Noah and I worked in civil service for a while and then when that contract was up I moved to Belfast and I've worked most of my life with Noah and the NHS's administrator administration and basically Noah, I thought Belfast was going to be a place where Noah would have opportunities and it was a place where he enjoyed he had so many opportunities here he went to grammar schools in Malkes which is a great school on the Antrim Road in North Belfast he made some amazing friends, they're like brothers they actually were like brothers I call them the band of brothers now he excelled he excelled in school he got 99% in his Spanish he was just brilliant at music he played the cello he played basketball and rugby he was just a child that any parent would be so proud to have him I knew I was so blessed with Noah I should always say to him how amazing he was he just never ever gave me any baller he never gave me any baller he was like my way he was my soulmate How was it in Belfast for you to know at the time also Belfast is a tough place was everything fine before that was any baller or anything that happened to him beforehand? Noah never Noah was a child he was an academic his life was learning his life was learning I was a single parent we were in social housing Noah was McStraith we kept ourselves to ourselves Noah's activities as friends I went to work in Orwebubble it was Orwebworld through Covid obviously it was three months in the Covid whenever the lockdown was hard his friends and him always kept in contact through Discord on the social media platform where they can best time more or less Noah was so excited they met his friends again actually give them a hug because we are huggers we are huggers as friends they're that close to the day they just love each other where we lived it's called the Holylands the affair of a melting pot of students of people that aren't from Belfast aren't from Ireland and also through Covid there was a hostel that opened up a crisis hostel that was just about 100 metres away from where Noah and I lived not even 100 metres and through Covid I had noticed a crowd of people that started loidding around that were they were staying in the hostel but then they attracted other types of people friends or whatever and I had made complaints to the hostel I had made complaints to the management of the hostel I just thought that they were the best sort of crowd especially there were students around as well and these people I had seen a few things happen outside our apartment and I just didn't think I think that the management in the place should be taking responsibility for it what kind of stuff? well I will say there was there was an overdose just outside our apartment in Ambulance there was I did see a drug dealing taking place just outside our apartment Noah was so laid back he wouldn't even he would have said to his mommy don't worry don't worry that's the type of me I just like if you can try and stop something like that happening then that's what I tried to take the steps to maybe stop that happening outside our apartment I didn't want that around where we were living a single mother you want to prevent things from taking danger away from your son and potentially anything that will happen well it's not even I knew Noah would never have to because Noah and I were always together when we went outside the apartment even if I went to shop Noah went with me but our apartment was very well secured but as I said I did make a few complaints I will say I am quite distinctive with my hair Noah was very distinctive as well he was very tall and as I said mixed race and he was always with me that would have been where we were living at the time now on the 21st of June Noah had said to me that the day before actually I have to say he went and met his friend Jay for the first time in three months they went in the town they had a lovely day together and the next day they had arranged to meet with their other friend who Noah hadn't seen in the three months they were going to go to Kiev Hill which is a beautiful location in North Belfast where just up the road from where Noah's school would have been Noah had on the day that Noah went and said to me that he was going to meet his two friends and go to Kiev Hill and it was by half five and I said to him why don't we have dinner but I knew how much it meant to him seeing his friend the day before and he hadn't seen his other friend I thought what right have I like to stop him meeting his friends after three months of lockdown but I said to him you have to be back by eight o'clock and Noah was the type of child he understood how important it was whenever we had made an arrangement to stick the arrangement and he always did he always always did I had said to him whenever you get over day I'm your friend you phone me from his phone because Noah didn't have money on his phone and I look back now in hindsight and I like to put out there every parent things that I look back and I think I didn't take if I could change things now I wouldn't have let him go I wouldn't have let him go I would have made him stay for dinner I would have made him stay for dinner and I would have said to him to make arrangements for another day does that play in your mind every day? another thing that plays in my mind and this is important for parents is I didn't have his friends contact numbers it's just simple things like that where I had said to Noah you should be over there by half six so you phone me so I know that you're there and half six I think it's a mother's instinct I have six I never got a phone call and I thought Noah should have rang me by now now it was a bright sunny day Noah had cycled over and I kept ringing Noah's phone and it was a new phone, it was charged he didn't answer and I don't know I just thought this isn't Noah for him not to be in contact and I wouldn't know when I would worry so Noah left your house at 5.41? he had left at 5.30 between 5.35 there's a lot of question marks on CCTV police saying that Noah will play straight away we'll go through the full steps of that so people can get an understanding you don't know who's watching us to come forward so Noah left yours at 5.41 and then you started feeling something was wrong at 6.30 yourself do you know what? I just like you don't want to be irrational and overreact but something just because Noah was such a good child and we made arrangements I knew whenever an hour was more than enough time an hour was more than enough time for him to go to his destination to meet his friends and I just thought there's something not right there's CCTV of Noah leaving the apartment he had a helmet and all on there's CCTV of him we've counted 180 CCTV cameras along Noah's route and as far as we know from the police there's only about 22 cameras that have Noah on footage out of 180 now if there's 180 CCTV cameras and a child is missing then I would expect every other parent they expect to see him that the police will take every single CCTV camera knock on the business door knock on a residential and ask them can we check your CCTV there's no amount of money that police resources that can a child is like when a child is missing you take every step that you have to take and with the CCTV cameras they didn't there's a on Noah's route through the city centre there's a blind spot of 180 metres now I have to let people know in Belfast because of the troubles Belfast is probably the most CCTV city in the UK I don't even know as far as Europe or whatever but in the UK they don't have trees in the city centre it's just so it's not the obstructing case something happens in the city centre and that's because of the troubles now Grafwych Twyrstwyth is in the city centre and it was on Noah's route and Noah would have taken that route going to school and there's no CCTV footage there yet if you go down Grafwych Twyrstwyth there's CCTV cameras everywhere police CCTV traffic on the traffic light CCTV and businesses and the police are trying to tell us that there's no CCTV footage there but keeping that in mind a witness came forward and she gave a statement to our solicitor a five page statement saying that she was with a group of men four men they were drug addicts and that these four men may have attacked Noah and it just so happens that it's in that area where there's a 180 metres blind spot of no CCTV I'll also put out there's a lot of investment in that area there's over 700 million points of investment in that small area I don't know what maybe due to such investments people may not know may not want it to be known that that's an area where your child could get attacked there's a university there there's going to be residential student residentials buildings there through investments that's a lot of money and um I put this out on Twitter and I was through my solicitor a university solicitor got in contact and was going to take me to High Court because of me putting that out on Twitter I'm just stating the fact there's over 700 million points investment in that blind spot area it doesn't look good for investors from overseas for any investors if there's drug addicts around that area that may attack a child there are no CCTV cameras I'll give you an example later on last year I'd CCTV operators from the police were able to track down um thieves that stole somebody's wallet in the 180 meter blind spot area where NOAA there's no CCTV of my NOAA they could track down a wallet in that blind spot area through their eagle eyed CCTV camera operators so I am angry and I'm just putting out facts um that's way on my mind about what doesn't weigh up Was there somebody else attacked a month before NOAA went missing? Yes, but that was in a different area can I first of all say there's so many coincidences around the witness and the foreman if you go back to when I said about me complaining about the hostel right um there's so many coincidences and I want to get to the bottom of these coincidences NOAA had a NOAA went with his rogue sack and the rogue sack was a laptop and a few books um where the attack was meant to happen NOAA's rogue sack um NOAA and this rogue sack you know they were he no longer had it in this um 180 meter blind spot um the laptop was in the rogue sack the eyewitness who's long with the foreman a lady who has been named in the newspapers just um the laptop was found in her room and her room coincidentally is in the hostel that is only a few meters away from where we live that I have been complaining about there's CCTV footage of NOAA going down past the hostels and the people that were meant to have attacked NOAA NOAA goes down the bike and they look down down the road as NOAA has gone down on the bike now just because these people may not have an abode doesn't mean that they don't know people who drive cars so maybe on one side of the city do you know the other side of the city but for some reason these people were on the other side of the city as well it doesn't make sense the girl who made the statement her and a gentleman who has been named in the newspapers went and tried to sell NOAA's laptop in a pawn shop it didn't have a charger so they couldn't sell it the laptop that was as I said was found in this girl's room um I'm going to put it out there that the police went into her room she was sleeping in the room they searched for the laptop and then they let her go back to sleep or maybe phone friends they did not arrest her they did not take her to the police station and questioned her and NOAA was still missing at this time my child was still missing nobody knew where NOAA was and they didn't even take her to the police station how that laptop came to be in her bedroom one of the gentlemen a college gentleman that was meant to have attacked NOAA also lived in that hostel and he moved out of the hostel the day after NOAA went missing was he ever questioned no none of these people we put the statement the five page statement to the police with a letter citing possible manslaughter and none of these people oh gosh there's been no arrests only for one person who was with this girl to sell the laptop is that Darryl Paul? yes thank you for mentioning I have a policy of not mentioning names he had nearly 200 convictions very violent some of them were violent convictions the thing is this is another coincidence and it is confusing because I can't get my head around it at all is the girl that was with Darryl Paul as you mentioned to sell a laptop she had been with Darryl Paul earlier on the Sunday and I'd seen the CCTV demo looking down the street at NOAA going past on the bike and then she was with a separate four men that possibly attacked NOAA Darryl Paul this was we'll estimate it around quarter quarter to six maybe in the city centre ten to six Darryl Paul who hadn't been with him in the statement about the eyewitness in the attack he found NOAA's rug sack later that evening in Great Victoria Street and there's too many coincidences around this Darryl Paul the police went to Darryl Paul's residence they found the rug sack they found NOAA's books and they did not forensically check Darryl Paul's residence and NOAA was still missing they didn't do any forensics they found NOAA's bike in his apartment NOAA was still missing and they didn't even forensically check his apartment it's 6-11 as well was that the last sign of NOAA? 6-11 was the first time that we were given that NOAA was last seen and I did see the video of the last footage 6-11 was the last time he was seen he was naked and he was run and he was exhausted and he was run and he was exhausted and he was run and exhausted naked and in an area he didn't know in a very densely populated street a cul-de-sac the top of the street and it looks like he's going into the back of one of the houses the time the time there was another CCTV camera and it showed the penultimate one the one before he was last seen it showed NOAA cycling up a turn off into that street and he looked exhausted then you know your child, you know a police officer that doesn't know a child wouldn't know their mannerisms wouldn't know it was exhausted cycling at the same time that NOAA turns that corner into that street there's a silver car that turns at the same time the police have come back with the last CCTV timing from 6-11 they've cut it down three times from 6-11 to 6-08 to 6-03 and the pathology report says 6-05 so four times this time has been changed and to me that means it cuts down anytime where anybody could have seen anything well could have maybe told NOAA to take his clothes off or you know came into contact with NOAA to take his clothes off now as you said about seeing anything there are two eyewitnesses that we know of on that street and remember it was a sunny day one eyewitness are both mothers one of the eyewitnesses says that she's seen NOAA cycle naked up the street and she thought it was a father's day prank she goes out of the house and she sees two men at the top of the street NOAA cycling towards these two men now I've said and I will continue to say you do not have to touch a child NOAA wouldn't have been street wise he wouldn't have been around men would have been teachers that would have been authority figures if two scary men stand and shout at a child get up the street now take your clothes off they don't have to touch that child that child is going to be terrified she didn't phone the police until 30 hours later and she says it was a father's day prank she has said she didn't speak to anybody else in the street at the very top of the street where the CCTV footage was seen at the cul-de-sac another mother looked out her window and she's seen NOAA naked and she thought it was her next door neighbour doing a father's day prank they both said they thought it was a father's day prank yet neither of them were meant to have spoken to each other this area that NOAA was last seen he wouldn't even have known that area he's never ever had any reason to be in that area NOAA was always with me or with his friends from school doing activities he would never have known that area Belfast as most people would know is divided Catholic Protestant and thank goodness things have gotten better but it's still there's still a divisive element there's still a minority on either side who with power and military still involved and the area that NOAA was last seen in is a loyalist stronghold NOAA was mixed race that area has has been known to be and not all just a minority and a hefty stress is just a minority and there's always a minority and either side Catholic and Protestant are very racist the prior a few weeks prior the NOAA being attacked another child from the same school as NOAA was on his bike he was pushed off his bike by a man and about 15 boys attacked this child and thank goodness this child knew the area and was a cross-country runner and knew where to run to and thank God he got away safe there's been other attacks the interface is Catholic and Protestant there's an interface this was called and there's been numerous attacks on children there was an attack on a child similar kind of situation this is what I need people to understand this child was on a bike there was a car of young adults and an adult and they were trying to attack this child the child cycled away to an area he didn't know and thank God escaped but he didn't know where he was and this is my thing NOAA didn't know the area he was in NOAA's when the police got NOAA's electronics devices they checked all his devices to see his search on google everything to see who he had been speaking to etc the last search on NOAA's laptop before he left the house was Cave Hill because that is where my NOAA was going to Cave Hill to meet his friends if NOAA had a wanted to go to a loyal hysteria that he didn't know and go down a storm drain he would have been searching for that and there was nothing on NOAA's devices to lead the police to believe that he was searching for that there was a specialist phone calls, text messages absolutely nothing the last message he sent on instagram was to his friend with Cave Hill what's the some of they say get hit with a car as well and fell off his bike so the CCTV footage that we have seen about Sargeham Yurtclark was the person who came out and made a statement that NOAA on the Wednesday that NOAA may have had a concussion because he had fallen and hit his head the CCTV footage that relates to this statement I've seen and my sister's seen and we can say without a doubt NOAA did not hit his head he got up extremely quickly actually there's another piece of CCTV footage after that and you can see NOAA started turning and looking behind him NOAA had a helmet on when I had identified NOAA was covered in mud and he looked like he was sleeping he looked beautiful, he could see his wee braces he looked like he was sleeping but I couldn't see any bumps or anything but when NOAA was in the coffin and I got to see him all cleaned up with clothes and all up there was on his forehead there was the circumference of it was 16 centimetres, it was a massive massive bruise it wasn't a bruise at that stage because of whatever way but there was a massive injury to his head and on the side of his face and it wasn't from a fall of his bike as Sergeant Murrow-Clark had put out to the public he said that but he was being proactive basically because NOAA was still missing on the Wednesday and there was no CCTV footage that I have seen to show that NOAA hit his head Murrow-Clark also said no foul play he had said it, it was very quick the autopsy I think had just been done but no foul play you haven't even investigated what I believe is the police have gone from my phone call which I never wanted to make a phone call because it was basically a mynton to myself, I was trying to be rational a mynton to myself that someone was really wrong that NOAA, Corde 10 I phoned the police and I didn't want to phone them because I was outside, I didn't want to walk anywhere in case NOAA came from either side but I phoned the police, I answered the questions I went over the past few weeks NOAA was hormonal, he was 14 years old his mood was up and down like any other 14-year-old they're taking it from my phone call that NOAA basically went in that storm drain himself but what I keep pushing to everybody including my solicitor and barister because I need them to understand this is so important if the police can tell me how NOAA knew that storm drain existed at the back of houses when some people on that street didn't even know that storm drain existed and they lived there 20 years how did my baby know that storm drain existed and also know that the storm drain was unlocked how did my baby know that if they proved to me that then I will and I've said to everybody I will start listening to what they're saying but it doesn't make sense to me you know what deserves what deserves the truth he's such a beautiful soul they're trying to they're trying to put that out of the that NOAA went there intentionally himself and there's no way there's no way so when NOAA at 6-11 when they say it was cycloneaked how far was that footage to the storm drain it was on that street his pants and his shorts were never found and on the Tuesday I went over I wanted to go over and his bike had been found on that street and the person that the bike was found outside this person's house it took them 24 hours to find the police it took as I said the two eye witnesses 30 hours to phone the police they could have saved NOAA's life all they had to do was phone the police and say if they were afraid they would go out you know where did they think NOAA was disappeared to they seen NOAA cycle up up to the top of a cul-de-sac their parents where did they think my baby went where did they think he went and they waited 30 hours to phone the police I had gone over on the Tuesday morning to try and see because they had told me that it was a small area and there was barbed wire it was naked and they would expect me to believe that NOAA climbed over barbed wire or climbed over the backs of about 40 houses walls of back gardens that's why they couldn't find them I didn't know about this massive storm drain I wanted to go over and the police wouldn't let me up they searched for NOAA so I just shouted out his name if it's a small area it has to be in one of the houses they need to start checking the houses but on that Tuesday some of his clothes are not found the police never cordoned the street off for forensics the police let the bin to empty the bins they go up and look for my baby they you know there's been a lot of when NOAA was missing a lot of good people from both sides of the community went out and searched for NOAA and the police let them they had such great intentions will be forever grateful but the police let them walk over a possible crime scene they never did forensics on any handles of back doors there's four houses out the backs that heard screaming that night they never oh my god I'm saying about NOAA's clothes not being found and just after Christmas the police, the PSNI Service of Northern Ireland put out on media about a coat that was lost in a pub in the city centre now this coat underneath now this was put out on media that the police are trying to track down a coat that was lost in a pub in the city centre and they want to reunite the coat with the owners so there was nothing happened to the owner yet they, my child was missing and they let the bin lorries go under that straight and they didn't find it important they found my baby's clothes for forensics they left what clothes they did find they left in a non-sealed bag in the police station that could have been contaminated that's what they could say happened, a non-sealed bag they left his bike outside one of the buildings in the police station by forensics, fingerprints the laptop they never checked the laptop for fingerprints there hasn't been one out of forensics done in those cases another important point is the storm drain out the back of these houses and the houses there's a couple of houses that look onto that storm drain and they're telling me that Noah went down that storm drain himself and the thing is that Noah was scared of the dark now this storm drain was pitch black and they're telling me that Noah went through a pitch black storm drain 950 metres to give you some idea 950 metres is about 9 football pitches and they're telling me Noah went down that storm drain that distance himself around corners and I would ask the person who's brave enough to go that far down a storm drain to come forward and do it they've never done a reconstruction the police have never done a reconstruction we're trying to get a reconstruction done these are the things that should be done when a child is missing the storm drain itself was unlocked but it was checked just three days prior by the department infrastructure it was checked three days prior it was unlocked and they're telling me that Noah knew that storm drain was there I knew that storm drain was unlocked to get in there where does the storm drain run to? the storm drain runs it's freshwater sea water it runs it goes quite a distance the thing when somebody's found drowned and that's what the pathology report that stated Noah died from drowning the first thing that a pathologist has to do and I didn't know this but you learn as you go through the whole process is that they have to take a water sample because there's things called diatoms and my solicitor brought that to our knowledge in a meeting with the coroner and the inspector involved in Noah's investigation and this was about a month after Noah was found and he stated it was very important that we get the water sample and straighten like that inspector was sitting across the table from myself, my sister and my solicitor and said yeah he agreed yet it's come to pass that Noah was found on the 27th of June it's come to pass that on the 27th of June the pathologist requested the water sample and that inspector who sat across the table from us he was made aware that water sample was needed and the water sample was never taken it's important that you have a water sample as I was saying because somebody drowned you have to make sure that the water they were finding is the same in the lungs because it could mean that they may have drowned somewhere else and been placed in a different water so it has to correlate if you haven't got a water sample you can't you can't say definitively that that person drowned in that place specific spot but this is it's vitally important in a police investigation when that's the situation to have a water sample and as we say you start with incompetence first there's so many things, no forensics at all there's so many things that have been incompetent but is it incompetence because so when Noah was in the drain was there not scientifically proven science behind that that was only refuting the hands that had water yeah we have experts as I said about the water sample the experts are trying to ascertain if the nose body been that drain for six days how should his body have looked been submerged in water that we are with the experts investigating that it seems that because as I said I had seen Noah and other than the gash day when he was cleaned up he looked perfect there was no bloating he just looked beautiful but in the pathology report his hands and his feet were the only parts of his body that looked like like they have been submerged in water for a period of time I also have to say that come to the attention of the newspaper that there was two criminals in prison and criminal A divulged to criminal B that he had taken part in the murder of my son criminal B when he got out of prison he came and contacted people within our team and he came of his own accord gave a full statement said what had been divulged by criminal A the police never took that serious criminal A says that they drowned Noah in a bathtub they've never they've never been questioned so that's why it's important as well for the water sample to have been took from the drain because then it may have matched differently from the bath in this statement from criminal B who did come forward he said that criminal A who may have taken part in Noah's murder that they had then got paramilitaries paramilitaries took part in get rid of Noah's body but the police never took that serious either they never took it serious and they haven't taken it anything that we brought forward to the police they haven't taken serious why do you think they want to cover the whole thing up because it can cause a lot of... the social arrest I do believe that that would be the underlying reason that they don't want to deal with nobody wants to nobody wants that to happen and Noah Noah my goodness he would not let that happen he would not have great faith in Noah such a beautiful soul but I think the police believe that that's what the outcome would be if a truth came out that paramilitaries were involved troubles could start again but can I make it really really clear because Noah wasn't brought up with division like we're all equal and that's how Noah felt as well there are so many amazing people on both sides of the community this is not my talking to you today maybe I'm really honest and truthful about what I think happened my baby there's more good people on each side of the community and it's just that minority and it's the minority that they poison the whole community it's a minority that I believe may have been involved in my son's death there's so many unanswered questions for yourself so many mistakes so much with the bag as well was that not near a camera did somebody not pick the bag up when they were seen but yet they never seen the camera with the bag getting put down the camera that we were showing where Noah's Rocksack is no longer with him it's a very bad CCTV footage and the CCTV is vile that would bring everything together because these two men at the top of the street who were they why did they not stop Noah two men at the top of the street Noah was naked and these two men who are they who are these two men there has been speculation and we've been told not to speculate but I'll speculate all I want because I'm Noah's mum and I want justice and I want the truth there's been speculation that the police went in on Friday before Noah was found and did that area and said to the power multary organisation that if you don't give up Noah's body then we'll come in and wreck the place meaning we'll come in, we'll find your drugs and Noah's body was found down on the Saturday morning six days later how was that for a murder? when did it also break in the news how many days later? on the Tuesday evening I had requested an inspector come and speak to me because I wanted the houses searched he came and I videoed him because I needed evidence because I wanted them to get once and get into people's houses and they said there's no way that they could go into people's houses that the only way to go into somebody's house was for me Noah's mummy to ask these people the police are public servants people pay taxes if anything ever happens that you can trust them do the job they're meant to do and yet they're saying that I as Noah's mummy had a request people to open their doors and let the police search I did put a request out on the police's the police's facebook page and I'm wondering did any of those people in that cul-de-sac ever open their doors because I know if you're not on the hide you'll let them go into your attic you'll let them go into every cupboard you'll open your doors, it's a child you will do anything you can to help I don't know if any of them ever opened their doors I would like to define that out on the Wednesday then we were basically more or less pushed into the press release about Noah possibly being concoest or know if you're in not understanding the type of boy Noah was put out at the end of the statement if you're in a friend's house then you're not in trouble he didn't understand the type of boy Noah was he wouldn't have been in a friend's house he just wasn't that type of 14 year old that happens all the time to me it was they didn't understand Noah's character you need to know the character of the child that you're trying to find it's come to pass that an internal police review this means your best body that you go to the T-room with is going to write a report on your investigation so that review was done within the police the police service and it came to pass that even your best body police officer has said that resources were not put into place for a missing child last in 2020 in the year that Noah went missing the service in Northern Ireland in overtime paid 32 million in Northern Ireland overtime now this is a missing child my Noah is a missing child and they didn't think it important to pay overtime for my child to be found that should be a priority for any missing child so after the 6 days you got feeling of mother's instincts you probably felt that the 6 days was it a phone call you got my sister and I this is unless you're in that situation you'll understand you'll do anything I contacted a psychic and on the Saturday morning me and my sister went down the psychic she gave me great comfort but she told me lots of things she says it would be like a jug-cell puzzle but she didn't say she didn't say that she thought Noah was dead but she said it so lovely and she was coming up she came up in the car with me and my sister and she was going to do a walk of where she thought Noah Noah's route was and try and find him when we got in my apartment the police were the liaison officers were sitting waiting and the liaison officers were so cold and callous and you know if I had if I had heard it from them first I don't think I could have handled it but for her I think for her they say that to me sort of buffered she said it so gently and was love if I had heard it from the police officers you know I don't know I've got great faith and she's a very spiritual person and she gave me some kind of peace that Noah would see if not and I just think if I had heard it from the police they wouldn't have cared about how they didn't care about how they put it to me actually I just doubt How do you think the police has treated this whole case? In the report that I had said about the resources not been put in and I had felt that throughout the time period and I had put it to the chief constable in questions about manners and he had basically deflected from proper answer but it did come out in that report that was true you know there are in the first couple of days before the liaison officers there was a beautiful chief constable Allison sorry constable Allison she's just so compassionate and you knew that she was in the police to help people I found the higher up that having to deal with superintendents and chief constables there's no compassion there was in the report that says about missing missing person fatigue you should never have that kind of mentality when a report comes in of a child missing within 72 hours of a child missing it's the most crucial hours and the first night of the search it was raining but not heavy we're in Ireland the police expect rain and they called off the search for no one the community was naked they called off the search for Minoa because they were afraid for the health and safety of their police officers and it wasn't mountainous terrain it was back gardens of an urban area and they called off the police search for my child in the crucial time period I have so many issues with the noise investigation and as I said before we'll start with incompetence but the further I go on and where I find out there's more than incompetence involved I will say something that's you're talking corruption I'll believe I'll give you an example now that would make me speculate in that and how dare anybody say I cannot speculate as Noah's mommy there's a thing that the police can request from court called public interest immunity certificate I keep hitting it forward Noah was part of the public I'm part of the public everybody that cares for Noah, Noah's army the people that really support finding justice for Noah we're all part of the public and as I say it's in all of our interest in the safety of all our children I don't want this ever happening in all our family in all our child we get the truth for Noah that nothing is hidden there saying it was there was no foul play then there's no need to hide anything there's no need to hide anything if you're telling the truth so why are the police trying to stop me getting information disclosure I have professional people legal people have said that the only reason in Northern Ireland that they'll ever request a public interest immunity certificate is if there's intelligence informers paramilitaries involved the information and disclosure I've already got is alarming to me already so I wonder if that's alarming to me already what do they not want me to read we'll never be able to get justice for my baby if we don't get all the information and this is part of the reason James that I'm sitting in front of you today we go to the Secretary of State and he makes a decision if I get that information and I need pressure put from whatever angle that can be put on the Secretary of State that he cannot stop me as Noah's mommy Noah was such a beautiful soul like he would have done he was going to excel in whatever he did in his life and his life is oh my goodness they better give me that disclosure I need to fight them putting that certificate on disclosure for Noah I cannot let them do because we'll never get answers what's the police says about the whole investigation what has they run down at all the police as I said the police are going with a narrative either suicide or it's misadventure they brought in a psychologist who deals with who's been used before by this corner who deals with custodial adult suicide now Noah was a child he was never in prison and I know for a fact my baby would never leave me or his friends it's so much to live for they brought a psychologist and psychiatrist and the expert reports for the corner to bring up Noah's mental health Noah never had any mental health problems he was never a doctor it's so healthy they are going down this narrative root and you know that's giving them a way out of answering what actually happened my baby and just keeping your head know it and know that storm drain existed and the storm drain was open there's a mother's instincts and information that you have what's your rundown on it all oh my goodness I just believe I try and block out what I think happened my baby but I have to take it because whatever went through whatever my baby went through he was alone he didn't have me he didn't have me to protect him and you know I just there could be people out there that harmed my baby and they're still out there and you know I do believe somebody harmed my baby I do believe somebody harmed my baby I do believe it and that you know there's been anonymous calls where people have said they have information but they have to keep their family safe first and they've never phoned back and I know I would appeal to anybody you know I know it would be difficult for anybody because of you know there's fear in certain communities because of paramount race but there are ways my solicitor we will make sure that anybody that comes forward with information is kept safe and you know if you have any belief in God you know you have to come forward and you know how can you live you know it was a beautiful child I would just pray that somebody is brave enough to come forward and give information I'm praying like do you have faith that somebody will do the right thing and do you understand the fear but you know nothing will change if people can't speak up and you know these paramount race are bullies they bully their own communities and I just I just yeah I just can't take it and Noah Noah's life stands for something and Noah wouldn't take bullies either and I just think people are afraid because you know that's what the bullies want Do you believe Noah was murdered Fiona? I can't say that word I believe somebody harmed my baby I believe somebody harmed my baby I just don't want to think about it As a mother Fiona you're so brave to just keep going and trying to find answers and to not give up and for me those questions I said I'm not a police officer I don't know all the answers but for me looking at the outside and hearing what you're saying and watching certain videos those question marks everywhere could it be a potential that if Noah was killed and it was from a certain group that if that was true then it could potentially start rising chaos again But this is it there was two meetings that myself and my sister went There was one meeting where we had any questions for the inspector involved in Noah's investigation in the corner They never answered our questions but they made sure they put it across to us because media have not been taking this on it's been a media blackout and that's why I've come to you and I'm so grateful for your platform for Noah's voice Why is that? The media, you know, Northern Ireland Has there been talk to be quiet or did they just think that you're just a mother grieving that? This was the thing at the start is Sergeant Muir Clarke put out let the family grieve Grief is a lifetime when did he think my grief would stop This is never going to stop What I believe he was trying to do was distance the public's want for answers by respectfully letting the family grieve and then slowly wipe it all under the carpet and I just thought it just clicked with me one day it was like 8 weeks and they're doing nothing they're doing absolutely nothing and then it just clicked, you're trying to wipe us under the carpet when we were in the meeting we've had to put out our own social media platforms because as I said the media are not taking it on because it would cause social unrest The chief or the inspector and the coroner twice in the meeting says could you just put a statement out on your platforms more or less worden it so that there wouldn't be social unrest like that's all their concern the greater good will I'll tell you this my Noah is my everything their consequences let them deal with that their public servants pet the resources and whatever my thing as Noah's mommy is I'll not stop and I will say what I have to say to get answers for Noah the media, I'm just absolutely disgusted at the media so disgusted Has anybody ever came forward and tried to silence yourself Jonah, told you to be quiet, I threatened you with any court papers yourself well the coroner and the attorney general it seems that I can be in contempt of court but then a newspaper article came out with the same information I was going to put out and were they in contempt of court but I'll be in contempt of court so why is that, just to silence you to try and make you forget it as if you're just going to forget your 14 son has been taken away from you but you're clearly a fighter and the time is now to try and get the answers that you want like you say you were living with this pain the rest of your life that's yourself but a bit of closure would take away some sort of pain where you know deep inside that there's so many unanswered questions there it must be such a difficult thing for you 18 months on and you've never really just let you go around in circles it's like they want to put you around in circles so that you spiral out of control and let me tell you there's many a day I have spiraled out of control and I probably will again but you know what I'll get myself grounded again and just come back they will not break me or my sister in this fight or Noah's army like there's a lot of very passionate people Noah is just such a beautiful beautiful soul and we don't want this ever to be repeated on another family if we just they're not going to break me I don't want to miss anything out here so is there anything that you want to touch on as well because it's important for people watching like I know a lot of people might be scared to come forward and give you answers but is there anything that we've missed out or anything that we can there's so much information on this and I know it'll be very hard to keep track of what I've just said but it is it really is just two main aspects they may want to talk today is to put pressure on on this public interest immunity certificate never getting the light of day because otherwise I'll not get the light of day on disclosure and answers that can't happen like there's legacy families and they'll never get answers I'm not letting that happen for Noah and the second thing is just appealing appealing to anybody anybody with any information oh my goodness please come forward just they may think it's insignificant but see that one little jigsaw piece it could add on to something that I already know and it could be so significant you know even if you think it's so insignificant I just come forward to my solicitor, Niall Murphy KRWS KRWS sorry just any any type of information first of all for coming on today and sharing your story you're a brave, brave woman, clearly a fighter anything I can ever help if I've got your back 100% how can people contact you if they've got information I want to tell you something Twitter platform maybe I can pass it on of course you can, you can leave that in the description you don't know who's got information out there and as you say, people are scared people are scared to give information because it potentially risks to their own life but there's a 14 year old kid missing whether it's racism involved whether it is, somebody's got answers whether it's a baby that's missing whether it's clearly distraught this is one of the reasons why you're here today so we can maybe get some closure as I say, you don't know who's watching but would you like to finish up on anything Fiona? just I'm just grateful for this platform it says the media are not giving Noah a voice Noah's voice deserves to be heard Fiona, cwm on a day to tell your story God bless you and anything I can help with in the future I'm on that phone call away Thank you James, thank you
