## Resource

At Noah Donohoes inquest, a senior official from Northern Irelands Department for Infrastructure testified, denying he entered the same underground culvert where Noahs body was found. The inquest, now in its fifteenth week, explores how Noah, who vanished on his bike in 2020, ended up in the steep water tunnel. The official faced questions about venturing into the confined space twice in 2025. The inquest also delved into a desilting job that cost half a million pounds and reviewed old CCTV footage. Despite these efforts, questions about safety and access remain unanswered, as the inquest continues to seek clarity for Noahs family.
