Three unions have balloted members over industrial action
An MHK has questioned whether Graham Cregeen 'has understood' the dispute with teaching unions 'at all'.
Julie Edge tabled an emergency question for the education minister in Tynwald this week, asking him to make a statement on the ongoing negotiations.
What followed was a 25-minute discussion of the issue in parliament, with various supplementary questions for the minister who has, for the most part, remained tight-lipped throughout the dispute.
Speaking after the sitting, Ms Edge wasn't confident in what she heard:
Man treated for non-life threatening injuries following Ramsey incident
Two suspects in custody following Ramsey incident
Consultation open on plans to formally recognise the heritage of Douglas Head
Police dealing with 'serious incident' in Ramsey
