A well-known voice on the Island will still be heard for some months yet.
Bernard Moffatt has been the Director of Information for the Celtic League for many years and has recently been speaking out on issues such as the transportation of silt from Peel harbour and an incident in which an Irish trawler was apparently snagged by a submarine in the Irish Sea.
He recently said he felt it was likely he would be replaced in the position following the League's AGM in Dublin.
He says whilst there were some officer position changes he will remain in post for another year, though adds this will definitely be his swansong:
