Senior sources tell Nolan no PPE will arrive from "joint order" assured by Finance Minister last week
The Nolan Show has been told by senior sources no PPE will arrive from "joint order" assured by Finance Minister last week.
This programme understands that it is the belief of the NI government that no personal protection equipment will be received from the order which Conor Murphy spoke about last week. Senior sources within government have questioned whether a formal joint order ever existed in the first place. If it didn't, many would say it would have been extraordinary for Conor Murphy to have made a public announcement confirming a "joint order" for life saving equipment without a formal, written agreement. Senior sources within government are telling the Nolan Show no such agreement exists - but if we give the Finance Minister the benefit of the doubt - where is the written agreement, and let the public see it. Senior sources going further - and telling us no PPE will be arriving to NI from this order.
