Lawyers representing parties involved in the case have voiced concern over the ongoing wait for evidence, twenty years after the murder of Denis Donaldson. Donaldson, a former high-ranking Sinn Féin official, former member of the Provisional IRA, and an exposed MI5 informant, was shot dead at an isolated cottage in County Donegal.

The killing occurred two decades ago following the public exposure of his role as an intelligence source. The persistent delays in the disclosure of evidence regarding his assassination continue to draw legal attention and scrutiny as the anniversary is marked.
