Andrew Crawford, ex-adviser to Arlene Foster, quits role at Stormont

An ex-special adviser to former Northern Ireland first minister Arlene Foster has resigned from his role at Stormont.

Andrew Crawford has denied attempting to keep a botched green energy scheme open.

He was named by a senior civil servant during an explosive hearing at Stormont as the person who exerted pressure to keep the Renewable Heat Incentive scheme running when officials wanted to close it.
