Statement by TUV leader Jim Allister:
“Sinn Fein have tied themselves in knots several times about whether or not there should be a public inquiry into the Cash for Ash scandal.
“Statements calling for a public inquiry have been issued only to be withdrawn by the party while party representatives have explicitly dismissed the idea of a public inquiry because of the alleged time it would take and the money it would cost.
“The Finance Minister’s move onto the ground occupied by other parties weeks ago reeks of political opportunism on the mouth of the election.
“Like the DUP, Sinn Fein are clearly slow learners when it comes to this issue. The right terms of reference for this inquiry are crucial.”
