Certain economic sectors to be prioritised
The Department of Economic Development is examining work permits.
In answer to a House of Keys question from Middle MHK Bill Shimmins today, Minister Laurence Skelly said it's being looked at for some sectors of the economy.
He used the example of recruitment for secondary school teachers to alleviate labour shortages.
However, Mr Skelly cautioned against unilateral action:
Two more weather warnings issued ahead of high tide
Amber warning for coastal overtopping and yellow alert for tidal flooding in Ramsey
Manannan sailings cancelled due to adverse weather
Gale force eight winds expected later
Welbeck Hotel owner 'overwhelmed' by response to closure
