The government found itself under fire from the public last night over its decision to bail out the Sefton Group.
Members of the public at the latest “Roamin’ Comin” meeting criticised the £4.5 million land and loan deal.
Chief Minister Allan Bell defended the decision, saying the choice was to let the group fail with the loss of 300 hospitality and construction jobs.
And he dismissed some of the criticisms he’s faced since the intervention was announced:
Police 'making enquiries' after report woman was cornered in pub toilet
Determining whether offence has been committed
Businessman calls for inquiry after court critiques police conduct
Hopes to address 'failings regarding the warrant and investigation'
Farming community 'such an important aspect of Island life'
Lieutenant Governor highlights value of agriculture and country life on the Isle of Man
Loganair cabin crew accept revised pay offer
New deal ensures staff, including those based on the Isle of Man, won't be taking strike action
