Ground-breaking ceremony commences construction
Following the Manx government's purchase of the Steam Packet, buying the site for the new Liverpool landing stage was the logical thing to do.
That's the view of Chief Minister Howard Quayle, who was speaking after the ground-breaking ceremony took place on Merseyside yesterday.
The £38 million project is due to be completed by summer next year.
Mr Quayle says being in control of the entire route makes sense:
Treasury responds to report calling for government to reduce its size
President of Tynwald 'genuinely surprised and humbled' to receive OBE
Reggie the Whippet freed from promenade railings
Kirk Michael fundraiser to take on 31st marathon in 31 days
