Middle MHK and former president of the Manx National Farmers Union Howard Quayle says last week’s snow has been a catastrophe for farmers.
The week-long freeze looks set to continue into this week with more cold weather forecast – farmers have already lost thousands of sheep to the deep snow during lambing season.
Mr Quayle says he’s heard the events of the past week described as a ‘disaster’, an assessment he fully agrees with.
He says he’s seen the damage done at first hand:
Government issues clarification on proposed changes to public housing policy
"There is no proposal to reduce the 10-year residency requirement"
