DfI Defends Culvert Safety Amid Noah Donohoe Inquest
Description
Noah Donohoes Death: Infrastructure Department Defends Culvert Safety
The Northern Ireland Department for Infrastructure (DfI) official, Jonathan McKee, refutes claims that they were unaware of the culvert hatchs lock status when Noah Donohoe, a 14-year-old student, entered it in June 2020. Noahs body was found downstream, with drowning ruled as the cause. McKee emphasizes that the department maintained the culvert, replacing the debris grille in 2017, and asserts that the new screen effectively kept out large debris while maintaining accessibility. Despite photos suggesting a missing padlock, DfI insists the debris screen was suitable and that the culvert was likely unlocked from 2017 to 2020. The inquest into Noahs death continues into its fourteenth week.
