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:
Douglas Council looking to expand allotment scheme to give greater access to nature
Emergency road closure in Tromode this evening
Chief minister keen to release the lease for offshore wind farm
