Gas protest leader speaks out

Twenty five attend protest outside Tynwald sitting

The Founder of the Manx Gas Facebook page says he believes government want to embarrass him into going away.

Barry Murphy was speaking this lunchtime (Tues) as around 25 gas protesters gathered outside Legislative Buildings.

It follows a Saturday demonstration in Regent Street, attended by around double that number, and is the fourth such protest.

David Ashford MHK, who's chairing the committee which is assessing the Manx Gas banded standing charges system came out to speak to the protestors.

Mr Murphy, took him to task and told him he wants a statement from the Attorney General on the exact nature of the Manx Gas agreement
