Home Affairs chief defends DoI
Home Affairs Minister Bill Malarkey has lept to the defence of his Council of Ministers colleague Ray Harmer in the ongoing row over the late cancellation of Rally Isle of Man.
The Infrastructure Minister received criticism from callers to Manx Radio's Talking Heads programme this lunchtime.
Mr Malarkey explained that the safety team is in his department and they couldn't have done more to help the event take place.
He says missed deadlines and organisational problems with Rally Isle of Man have been building for a number of years:-
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
