The treasury minister has told Tynwald the problems facing the Irish economy shouldn't have a direct affect on the Isle of Man.
Anne Craine was replying to a question from North Douglas MHK Bill Henderson.
The Irish government has had to make critical adjustment to public finances and cut 4 billion euros from spending in the current year, with a further 3 billion cut expected next year.
Several Irish banks trade on the Island, but Mrs Craine doesn't believes the Manx economy is in any direct danger as a result of their presence:
Government 'unable' to comment over Environmental Health concerns
Drop in visitor numbers over winter 'does the damage' for hotels
Huts owner determined to rebuild after storm
Trawlers heading out to sea on first day of king scallop season
