Big debate heads north

Ramsey is the venue for the second of The Big Debate gatherings this evening (Tuesday).

It’s the second of four scheduled meetings – described by government officials as an ‘unprecedented exercise in democratic engagement’.

Scooil Ree Goree will host the event at seven thirty with members of the public randomly selected from the electoral register to take part in discussions about the future of the Island’s government.

After receiving feedback from the public at last week’s inaugural debate, Treasury Minister Eddie Teare says parts of the format will need refining.
