A former Manx politican and disabled rights campaigner says he's disappointed at news disabled people will have to wait longer for laws giving them a better deal in society.
Former MHK and chairman of the Ballamona Mental Health Association Geoege Waft was instrumental in bringing the Disability Discrimination Act into being.
It received Royal Assesnt in 2006 but has remained on the shelf ever since, while successive governments assessed the cost and practicality of enforcing it.
Now the DDA's to be dropped altogether to make way for wider Equality legislation - but that won't be implemented for at least two more years.
Mr Waft says the wait for change is frustrating but finances are clearly a major factor:
