Quayle delivers parliamentary address
'Courageous' and sometimes 'unpopular decisions' lie ahead to ensure the Isle of Man thrives according to Chief Minister Howard Quayle.
He delivered his 'state of the nation' address in Tynwald this lunchtime (Tuesday 17th).
During a wide-ranging address, Mr Quayle spoke about energy costs, poverty, the demands on the health service, air and sea links, Brexit and the economy.
And he pinpointed the role of the media and an 'increasing tendency for more sensationalism' in the way stories are reported.
Mr Quayle said big decisions in the coming months and years would have a significant impact on the Isle of Man:
Vote on Castle Rushen High School funding 'very unlikely' before election
Ramsey Commissioners to host public meeting about cottage hospital
DfE provided more than £250,000 to MT to assist with below ground fibre installations
Man given suspended sentence after importing 2kg of cannabis to Island
