SES failure to give evidence 'very, very unusual'

February 24, 2021 8:01 pm Long runs the fox as Shared Environmental Services (SES) continues to evade calls to provide evidence to a key Stormont Committee.

During the meeting on February 11, the committee warned it could be forced to use its legal powers to compel SES to attend. In the most recent meeting (held on February 18) members heard that despite further efforts by the committee clerk to contact the organisation, no response had been received. The clerk explained she had offered the three dates following immediately after the Assembly’s Easter Recess, which ends on April 11. The dates were April 15, 22 and 29.
