Implores members not to speak for "the sake of it"
The Lord Bishop of Sodor and Man paid tribute to the work of the Legislative Council in his final speech.
Bishop Robert Paterson spoke for the last time in Tynwald yesterday afternoon (Tues) before retiring from his post.
President of Tynwald Steve Rodan paid tribute to his eight years in the court, and the interest he's shown for the welfare of members.
In his reply, he thanked the president and clerks, and his fellow MLCs.
Before leaving, he implored all members not to speak simply to have their voices heard:
Residents still want to see what wind farm will look like
Construction costs on the Island 18% above UK average and comparable with Outer London
Manx residents 'will probably need to pay more' if they want universal health service
Apartment building planned for Douglas City Centre
