Today’s programme begins with the latest developments from the inquest into the death of 14-year-old Noah Donohoe.
We examine key evidence heard this week — including missed CCTV, unavailable footage from a funeral home, and questions raised around how the early investigation was carried out.
We also look at a new report highlighting how children in deprived areas are being drawn into criminal activity from a young age, and the lack of support structures that follow.
Later in the show, we cover a major development in France, where prosecutors have searched the offices of Edmond de Rothschild bank as part of an investigation linked to the Epstein files.
From there, we explore the wider question of how global networks of finance, politics and influence operate — and how Ireland fits into that picture in the aftermath of the financial crash.
We also briefly touch on the Gerry Adams civil case, which concluded shortly after last week’s programme.
This is a fact-based discussion focused on evidence, context, and the questions that remain.

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.
