MHK stands by local authority letter

Letter threatens political row

An Onchan MHK says he doesn’t know why commissioners in the district would consider a letter he’s written ‘threatening’ or ‘abusive’.

Last week the board revealed it had sought legal advice over the letter, which David Quirk hand-delivered to members individually.

But Mr Quirk says he doesn’t know – and hasn’t been able to find out - which letter is being referred to.

So does he stand behind all his correspondence?
