Minister defends private petrolheads' run
A convoy of unique sports cars on Manx roads was a worthy marketing exercise, according to the Economic Development Minister.
Liverpool-based Briggs Automotive Company brought over twelve of its high-powered, £125,000 Mono cars yesterday - with their international owners given a grand tour of the Island's scenic drives.
Though many turned out to marvel at the sight, some complained that the meet - which saw temporary road closures in the south - was a case of government pandering to wealthy non-residents.
But Laurence Skelly says it's about the bigger picture:


One in eight drinking above recommended weekly alcohol limit
Renal patients 'near breaking point' over lack of dialysis facilities in the north
Public Health to expand 'stop nicotine' services and accept referrals from children
Fourth candidate declares for Glenfaba and Peel
