Burned

In "Burned," an engaging political thriller from a seasoned journalist, listeners are taken behind the scenes of the shocking "cash-for-ash" scandal that unraveled Northern Ireland's government. Initially designed as a green-energy initiative, the Renewal Heat Incentive (RHI) turned into a costly fiasco, highlighting the incompetence of the civil service and the abuses of power by leaders in the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP). This scandal not only led to the collapse of the power-sharing administration at Stormont but also exposed significant governance issues within Northern Ireland, impacting the broader political landscape, including Brexit negotiations.
