Text

Thank you, Minister, for your answer. In the summer of 2025, we saw the outcome of your Department's forensic review of NI Water and read in the regional press about NI Water's leadership. You have now commissioned a further review, which your permanent secretary characterised as a familiarisation exercise. Judging from your answer, I am not sure whether you share that view. What timelines will have to be met, what targets will have to achieved and what thresholds will have to be reached for further action not to be taken?
