Steam Packet deal awaiting Tynwald approval
TravelWatch Isle of Man believes the government has to ensure the best interests of passengers, should a deal to buy the Steam Packet be reached.
Treasury Minister Alfred Cannan is seeking Tynwald approval to finalise a £124m agreement to purchase the firm next week.
It's been described as a 'once-in-a-lifetime opportunity' by Chief Minister Howard Quayle, and a number of senior ministers have publicly backed the move.
But Brendan O'Friel from the passenger watchdog has urged against complacency:
Lack of opportunity to study science 'could be impacting future doctors'
Glen Maye patient airlifted to the UK
Trial for man who denies being controlling and coercive
Visitors asked to avoid main cemetery entrance on Sunday
Onchan man accused of committing act against public justice
