Range of outsourcing options for complex
The Economic Development Minister says it's time to weigh up the alternatives - after it emerged no bids have been entered for a takeover of the Villa Gaiety complex.
Laurence Skelly announced the outsourcing venture back in May, when three off-Island companies were said to be interested.
But a lack of formal tender interest means government will now have to work out a different way of running the venues.
Mr Skelly says he'd like to see the matter concluded as soon as possible:
