PAC to suspend inquiry into renewable heat incentive scheme

The Northern Ireland Assembly's Public Accounts Committee has decided to adjourn today's public session into the next phase of the Renewable Heat Incentive Inquiry in order for all ongoing Departmental investigations to conclude.

The Public Accounts Committee considers this particular Inquiry to be of the most acute public interest and achieving maximum transparency and accountability on this issue are paramount.

The Public Accounts Committee will not be deflected in its determination to fully carry out its political and scrutiny responsibilities.
