PAG held a debate in Douglas last night
Concerns about the economy, hospitality and farming were key topics raised at a public meeting.
The Positive Action Group held a debate at the Legion Hall in Douglas last night (30 September) with the main question - Is the Isle of Man economy working for you?
The consensus on the night was largely negative.
Those on the panel included John Webster, a former Isle of Man government economist and business owner, Director of the Regency Hotel Tim Baggaley, Secretary of the Manx National Farmers Union Sarah Comish and Vice-Chair of the Island's Licensed Victuallers Association, Carl Joughin.
Manx Radio's John Moss was in attendance and has this report:
