Chief minister apologises in Tynwald
The chief minister admits government wasn't prepared for the cancellation of the Senior Race Day (12 June) bank holiday to go public.
In Tynwald Howard Quayle apologised for the way the decision had been communicated, after it came out via the Tynwald order paper, without an accompanying announcement.
Subsequently, in a move some described as a 'u-turn', a new replacement bank holiday was announced for the 28 August, to create a 'four-day weekend'.
Mr Quayle says the issue could've been handled in a better manner:
Peel bar impacted by bus strikes
Care funding reform report delayed following ministerial change
Charity plans baby loss memorial garden at Noble's Hospital
New rights for neonatal care leave and carer's leave on the way
Manx Wildlife Trust launches new internship programme
