The Manx government has a long-term plan to support the construction industry in the Isle of Man.
So says Treasury Minister Eddie Teare, who appeared live on Manx Radio's Sunday Opinion programme.

Mr Teare says a greater balance needs to be struck, with more private sector work being brought through planning:
