A Public Inquiry into the NI RHI scheme

The Issue

We the people request a public inquiry into the Northern Ireland RHI scheme.

The Northern Ireland Executive has committed £1.2bil of taxpayers money in a scheme that had an allocated budget of £660m. The scheme was implemented with at least great incompetence and at worst corruption and fraud. Each person in Northern Ireland will be picking up the cost for the next 20 years, and even if monies are clawed back the money that will be spent is of questionable value.

Only an independent public inquiry with a judge appointed by the Lord Chief Justice set up under the Inquires Act will be able to compel witnesses and get to the truth.
