Noah Donohue: Sinn Fein Accuses Secretary Of State Of Helping Police 'Conceal' Information
Sinn Féin MLA Gerry Kelly has accused the new Secretary of State of trying to "conceal" information over the death of 4-year-old Noah Donohoe.
The North Belfast MLA also called on the PSNI to withdraw the application for a Public Interest Immunity certificate (PII) to give "truth and transparency" to the Donohoe family.
Noah's naked body was found in a Belfast storm drain, six days after being reported missing in June 2020.
Mr Kelly said: "One of the first actions of the new British Secretary of State, who has only been office for a number of weeks is signing off an application for the PSNI to conceal information related to the Noah Donohoe case.
"This is deeply concerning and I am again calling on the PSNI to withdraw this application, because the Donohoe family deserve answers, not secrecy and cover up.
"Public Interest Immunity certificates (PII) are used to conceal information. They were and are extensively used to hold back information in conflict legacy cases.
"This inquest is about the death of a 14-year-old child. It is not conflict related.
"We will continue to stand with the Donohoe family in their campaign for truth, transparency and accountability."
