Politicians meet via audio link during coronavirus crises
The Speaker of the House of Keys has praised the work of Tynwald staff, who made the inaugural 'virtual' sitting of the Manx parliament possible.
MHKs and MLCs met yesterday (Fri, 3 April) via audio link, to conduct the extraordinary sitting, in accordance with government's social distancing guidelines.
Juan Watterson, who is also deputy president of Tynwald, says it was a quick turnaround:
Yellow weather warning for coastal overtopping
Strong winds are expected overnight
Plans approved for 'The Wing'
New billboard to be introduced at Ronaldsway Airport
Police appeal for video footage after 'significant' blaze
Site now deemed 'structurally unsafe'
Douglas to receive new lifeboat
Port St Mary is to lose one of its lifeboats in the next two years
