We’re looking forward to briefing the committee on the important work of open government in Northern Ireland and the role they can play in championing it for transparency, accountability, and public trust in our institutions.
The Committee for Finance will next meet on Wednesday 4th December at 2pm. The Committee will hear from @OpenGovNI on the work of Open Government in Northern Ireland and from the Department @dptfinance on the NI Investment Fund and UK Infrastructure Bank/National Wealth Fund.
