Claims MHK's criticisms are ill-informed
The chairman of the Isle of Man Arts Council has hit back over claims it turned down an MHK’s request to see its accounts.
Geoff Corkish MLC says East Douglas MHK Chris Robertshaw was given all the information he requested.
Mr Robertshaw denies this and says he wasn’t allowed to see the council’s minutes of meetings, either.
Mr Corkish says the comments – in the wake of funding cuts to the Sayle Gallery – are extremely damaging.
And he describes Mr Robertshaw’s claims as ill-informed:

Former DOI minister expecting new CRHS to be 'over the £70 million mark'
"Rapid review" into bed capacity at Noble's Hospital
Still 'very low risk' of meningitis outbreak on Island
MHK 'disappointed but not surprised' over secondary school delay
FoI statistics to be published quarterly to improve transparency
