A union is claiming the bill for the Manx government's severance pay to workers recently made redundant could total £1 million.
As five employees laid off from the Isle of Man Railways formally drop-off the payroll, along with 17 others, Unite says the maths just don't add up.
The union's regional officer on the Island is Steve Salter:
