Planned changes to go before Tynwald in April
Harsher options were explored, but ultimately not used, when it came to plans to reform the Government Unified Scheme.
That from the chief executive of the Public Sector Pensions Authority, Ian Murray.
He's been speaking in the wake of the announcement the PSPA plans to change GUS, with members contributing up to 50% more to ultimately receive less.
Mr Murray says the impact of some of the options discussed would have been too great:
Trial Deemster would likely have been replaced
Acting Deemster Corbett stepped down without issuing a ruling
Replica Christopher Columbus ship extends stay in capital
Original was used in explorer's first expedition across the Atlantic
Owners planning restaurant expansion
Works include expanding the outside courtyard
Police announce court ordered road closure in Onchan
Stretch of Harbour Road to be closed for three hours
