Stormont's Capital Project Oversight Under Fire After £3 Billion Overspend

A new report has slammed a £3 billion overspend on major capital projects in Northern Ireland as unacceptable and unsustainable.

Stormont Public Accounts Committee's Concerns

The Stormont Public Accounts Committee has declared that the current system for managing large-scale capital projects is 'not fit for purpose' and is advocating for the consideration of an independent oversight body in Northern Ireland. Furthermore, the committee is questioning why recommendations from a report five years ago have not been fully actioned.
