BIC links could raise IOM Brexit profile
A proposed deal between the Conservatives and the DUP could bring the Isle of Man closer to Westminster.
UK Prime Minister, Theresa May, is hoping to strike a deal with the party this week to support her minority government.
But former Manx Chief Minister, Allan Bell, believes our position in Brexit negotiations could be strengthened as a result.
The British Irish Council brings together representatives from the UK, Ireland, Scotland, Wales and the Crown Dependencies regularly to discuss political matters.
Mr Bell believes that could be a 'foot in the door' for the Manx government:
Person suffers 'significant injuries' in 'serious assault' near Peel
Business case for horse trams to be put before Tynwald in July
Plans to turn 'underused space' in central Douglas into wellness retreat
Employment grievance 'upheld' against board of Peel Commissioners
