Question:
To ask the Minister for the Economy what consideration has been given in regards to Invest NI contributing its expertise to mainstream Executive Departments, to assist with good practice on the implementation of programmes and project management, as recommended in the Non-Domestic RHI Scheme Inquiry Report.

Answer:

As you are aware, the recent focus of both my Department and Invest NI (INI) has been dealing with the huge impacts on our economy of both the COVID pandemic, and EU Exit. Clearly, this will continue to be the case in the foreseeable future. Notwithstanding that, all of the recommendations arising from the Non-Domestic RHI Scheme Inquiry Report that fall to my Department to deliver are clearly very important, and we will look to implement them in due course, subject to other work priorities.
