After years of nonsense from Stormont about having "learnt the lessons" of RHI, here's the reality:
👎40% of RHI Inquiry findings not implemented four years later
📉Crucial area getting worse

Stormont hasn’t implemented 40% of RHI Inquiry findings – and it is getting worse in some areas
More than four years after the costly Inquiry into the Renewable Heat Initiative concluded, auditors have concluded that Stormont will probably never implement some of its key recommendations.
