Today’s special programme takes a closer look at the ongoing inquest into the death of 14-year-old Noah Donohoe.As new evidence continues to emerge, we step through what the inquest has heard so far — from toxicology findings and expert testimony, to the timeline of events in the hours after Noah disappeared.We examine key elements that are raising questions for many following the case, including:The role of Public Interest Immunity (PII) and what it means for evidence that may not be fully disclosedThe movement of Noah’s belongings in the hours after he went missingThe limits of forensic science and what can — and cannot — be determined with certaintyEnvironmental factors relating to the storm drain where Noah was foundWe also reflect on past cases, including that of Arlene Arkinson, to explore how inquests can evolve over time and why early investigative decisions can matter years later.This is a careful, fact-based discussion — not about speculation, but about understanding evidence, uncertainty, and the questions that remain.

This week on MOTH News Live, we bring you the latest developments from the Noah Donohoe inquest in Belfast, where expert testimony has described the case as “one of the most extraordinary” encountered by a forensic pathologist. We’ll break down the key evidence heard in court this week, including what medical experts agreed on about the cause and timing of Noah’s death.We’ll also look at the debate surrounding Dublin Zoo’s Mother’s Day promotion, after comedian James Patrice’s “Malahide Woman” character was chosen as the ambassador for the zoo’s St Patrick’s weekend Irish culture event — a decision that has divided opinion online and in politics.And we continue examining the wider conversation around Irish connections emerging in the Epstein document releases, asking what transparency and accountability should look like when international financial networks intersect with Irish business and public institutions.Join Keith Walsh, Oscar Virdee and Al as we look at the stories behind the headlines and the questions still being asked.Live Friday at 11am.

Tomorrow on MOTH News Live, we examine the growing questions around the Epstein files and the Irish connections being discussed this week. As more documents and correspondence emerge internationally, the debate is widening: should Ireland carry out its own inquiry if Irish names or business networks appear in the material?We’ll also look at rising tensions in the Middle East following the latest Iran–Israel escalation and the argument coming from Washington that external pressure could trigger internal political change in Iran. Is that realistic — or does history suggest the opposite?Back in Ireland, a controversial arrest has raised questions about free speech and proportionality in policing, after Gardaí travelled across the country to arrest a man over a social media comment aimed at a journalist.And we’ll bring you the latest developments from the Noah Donohoe inquest in Belfast, where new evidence continues to examine the timeline of events and the early stages of the police investigation.Join Keith Walsh, Al and Oscar Virdee as we look at the stories and the questions behind them.Live Friday at 11am.
