This needs some explaining. The mural depicts first minister Arlene Foster (DUP) as a green dragon pushing heating pellets as part of the Renewable Heat Incentive scheme. Under the scheme, businesses and organizations were reimbursed for the pellets they purchased as a way of incentivising the use of renewable energy rather than fossil fuels. The problem with the scheme was that the reimbursement rate was more than the cost of the pellets, which only encouraged people to crank up the heat. One person really did heat an empty barn to cash in. A scandal ensued. Foster refused to admit any wrongdoing and then deputy first minister - Sinn Féin's Martin McGuinness - resigned over the DUP's handling of the scandal, triggering the collapse of the Stormont government. Northern Ireland has been without a functioning government ever since. (This came to a head in early 2017).
