Joney Faragher says move will bring IOM in line with other jurisdictions

It would make the products available in publicly-coordinated toilets in a bid to help people who are caught short and those who struggle to afford them.
In a vote to grant leave to introduce there were 21 votes in favour and just two members against.
Afterwards, Ms Faragher told Manx Radio there are 'two aims' of the bill:
£41K spent on encouraging people to shop local
Baton of Hope to come back to Isle of Man
CoC 'keen' for continuity of sidecar racing at TT
2026 Manx Grand Prix to begin today
