Statement from the chair of the Public Accounts Committee

The Chair of the Assembly’s Public Accounts Committee (PAC) has reacted to the media account of a draft Committee report.

Chairperson Paul Maskey, MLA said: “It appears that an early draft report into NI Water has been leaked.

“If this is the case I am concerned and disappointed. I will be trying to get to the bottom of this.

“As it stands, this document is not a PAC report. The Committee has not completed its inquiry and this is certainly not the Committee’s agreed position. ”
