Questions about MARS scheme
It's time for retired civil servants to make way for new blood, and Keys answers won't hide the fact - that's the message from one Onchan MHK.
Julie Edge has been trying to find out how many public servants have retired under the Mutually Agreed Resignation Scheme (MARS) and returned to office.
Mrs Edge believes people taking pensions under MARS could be returning to office as sub-contractors before the agreed two-year absence is up.
She asked the Policy and Reform Minister to answer the question on November 22, and requested a breakdown by department on December 6.
And, insists the answers don't add up to reform, or provide faith in new thinkers:
Skills Strategy hopes to tackle 'significant' skills shortage
Loganair to remove Saturday service to Birmingham
Trial for Douglas man who denies keying car
Southern Pool board welcomes assurances over site's future
Looneys of Ramsey to close
Future of Belfast flights 'precarious' due to low passenger numbers
