Text
I thank the Minister for announcing the investigation, especially given that, in approximately the past year and a half, NI Water has spent £225,000 on investigations, the outcomes of which none of us knows. Minister, can you assure us — the public — that the audit will not be a toothless tiger, that it will not shy away from difficult questions and investigations into accountability and proper governance, in NI Water and at the Department, and that it will look at what appears to have been a very vindictive approach by NI Water to a key whistle-blower?
