'We should be doing so much more with what we've got on the Island'
The infrastructure minister says he's hoping to rehabilitate the reputation of the Department of Infrastructure.
Chris Thomas was in discussion with MHK Daphne Caine and historian Charles Guard on Manx Radio Perspective with Phil Gawne.
There were heated conversations over the Island's railway's and what could be cut back if 'dark days' occurred and put the Isle of Man into 'financial meltdown'.
Mr Thomas says he was offered other positions within the Council of Ministers, but insisted he was the man for what he's called the 'hardest job in government':
Overnight sailings cancelled due to adverse weather
Rapist who 'terrorised' his victim told his sentence was 'entirely justified'
Complaints process for health system changed
Discovery of oiled birds 'makes a mockery of our biosphere status'
Charges now in place for those sending parcels to the EU
