This morning the Nolan show returns to our investigations into the Renewable Heat Incentive scheme. We are concentrating today on the fact that the Department of Economy published wrong information about what companies had received. This is despite the department knowing what the public outcry was likely to be in this huge , politically loaded story. People have been left devastated by their errors. We spoke to one businessman in particular who could hardly speak, such was the extent of his trauma after the Department of Economy falsely reported he had claimed hundreds of thousand of pounds. He hadn't. The information was totally wrong. When he asked for it to be corrected, he was told it would be weeks before they were prepared to do so. The Department for Economy has so far published the names of companies. It intends to disclose information about living individuals very soon, but today, in the public interest, we ask if they should be allowed to do so. How can they be trusted to publish the correct information if their systems are so flawed. Stephen got reaction from Alliance leader Naomi Long.
