AGENDA: 

  • Agenda 3.11.25 - Government’s Transport Strategy and Climate Change emissions reductions

    The Government’s Transport Strategy was considered by Tynwald last month and while there was no request for it to be supported it was merely noted by our politicians. Where does leave the strategy if it’s not supported by Tynwald? Also why did Tynwald pick one of the highest year’s for green house gas emissions as the base line on which future emissions reductions are referenced? Has Tynwald done a disservice to itself in not acknowledging significant impacts of previous political actions to reduce climate harming emissions? Is our transport strategy on a road to nowhere and should emissions reduction targets be allowed to go up in smoke?

PERSPECTIVE:

  • Perspective - Launch of the Year of the Manx Language Blein ny Gaelgey 2026

    Earlier this week the Year of the Manx Language, Blein ny Gaelgey was officially launched at the start of the Cooish Manx language festival. The year has been organised by Jeabin, the Manx language network and there will be loads of events during the year to celebrate the Manx language. The year is primarily supported through existing budgets and a significant amount of voluntary effort, so why does government and the various Manx language agencies, groups and speakers think the language is so important? For a language that appeared to be on it’s last legs in the 1960s and 70s it’s certainly packing a punch now.
