The government found itself under fire from the public last night over its decision to bail out the Sefton Group.
Members of the public at the latest “Roamin’ Comin” meeting criticised the £4.5 million land and loan deal.
Chief Minister Allan Bell defended the decision, saying the choice was to let the group fail with the loss of 300 hospitality and construction jobs.
And he dismissed some of the criticisms he’s faced since the intervention was announced:
'Too early to tell' what caused fire
Crews from across the Island ensured cover was available
Firefighting foam may have killed fish in Silverburn River
People advised not to enter the water for 28 days
Additional road closure for TT filming ahead of MGP qualifying
Sunday morning closure along Quarterbridge and Peel Road
'Knives and sharp implements' left outside charity shops
Fly tipping warning from police after instances outside Crossroads
