Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service

I was reading an article on the BBC News website regarding the latest in the N.I. Fire and Rescue Service saga.

Back in October Edwin Poots in a statement to the Assembly, said he was releasing three reports about the irregularities under investigation. However, I haven't been able to find any info on these reports.

Anyone have any knowledge of this or where I might find the reports ?

Is this is what you are after?

It is indeed. Very interesting reading.

My heart goes out to Linda, the whistle blower. Hopefully, she can put it behind her and see the people responsible, disciplined.

Thanks leolion2177.

Rotten to the core.
Love how Terry McConigle was on the sick for a few months before resigning, classic public servant. What was he off sick with ? African Swamp Fever ?
Should the illegal "bonuses" and sick pay not be paid back ?

I also read what Edwin Poots had to say at the time and also the further questions in the Assembly. While there are various mentions of disciplinary action, it would appear that no action has been taken, which is typical.

The statement made to the Assembly is here ;
