The leisure minister says avoiding redundancies remains a priority as talks continue to save jobs on the railways.
A fortnight ago, North Douglas MHK Bill Henderson launched a blistering attack on David Cretney, calling on him to 'stop ruining people's lives'.
Mr Henderson also said there was no need for job losses because the Island wasn't 'in that much trouble'.
However, Mr Cretney says that's a complacent view and his department is still working with staff to avoid redundancies where possible:
Ramsey residents 'shocked' at Looneys closure announcement
Two Manx high schools told to stop operating CCTV 'inside' toilets
King Gaming's license suspended amidst criminal investigation
Hopes new unit will reduce amount of time patients spend in hospital
Boxing: Burden hungry for glory on pro debut
Housing, VAT, climate and tourism among concerns raised by the East in government roadshow
