Island pays more than other Crown Dependencies
The Celtic League's calling on the Government to renegotiate its deal with the United Kingdom over how much it pays for defence and international representation.
The issue was recently raised in Westminster where it was revealed, that since 2015, the Isle of Man has paid £18.5m whereas the other Crown Dependencies contributed around a third of that total for similar services.
The Island's Treasury Minister David Ashford says there are no plans to change the agreement whch has been in place since 1994.
Assistant Secretary General of the Celtic League, Bernard Moffatt, says the Isle of Man should think again:
Main road between Peel and Douglas to shut for tree felling
'Targeted and intelligence led approach' to protect Island's borders during Irish sailings
Airport Director role advertised with top salary of £120,000
Traders on Michael Street feel 'abandoned' by politicians in tough times
