MANX NEWSCAST: 

  • Derbyhaven Residents Society says ombudsman highlighted issues with golf links hotel

    The Derbyhaven Residents' Society says it welcomes the findings from the Tynwald Commissioner for Administration regarding the handling of a complaint over the former Castletown Golf Links Hotel. A report by the ombudsman found that maladministration had occurred when Malew Commissioners was dealing with a request to serve a demolition notice on the building - which the society describes as an 'embarrassing eyesore'. The document is due to be laid before Tynwald next week, and the group is asking members to consider whether local authorities should have the power to demolish derelict and dilapidated properties.Shaun Murphy, a member of the resident's society, says the report 'shines a light' on what powers local authorities have and when they should be used 'appropriately'. Local Democracy Reporter Emma Draper has been speaking to him.

AGENDA: 

  • Agenda 10.11.25 - Questions and Whistleblowing

    Agenda 10.11.25Is government’s whistle blowing policy fit for purpose? Well a new Tynwald Committee has been set up to answer that very question? Should concerned government employees be able to take their concerns directly to an MHK or is this best left to HR experts to handle? Also, there were several questions raised in October Tynwald about young people not in work or education, is government flip flopping on apprenticeship support, are reservoir repairs over the top and concerns in the south over changes in the rating system. Agenda blowing the whistle on the big political stories of the day ........ or was that just the kettle boiling?

PERSPECTIVE:

  • Perspective - Launch of the Year of the Manx Language Blein ny Gaelgey 2026

    Earlier this week the Year of the Manx Language, Blein ny Gaelgey was officially launched at the start of the Cooish Manx language festival. The year has been organised by Jeabin, the Manx language network and there will be loads of events during the year to celebrate the Manx language. The year is primarily supported through existing budgets and a significant amount of voluntary effort, so why does government and the various Manx language agencies, groups and speakers think the language is so important? For a language that appeared to be on it’s last legs in the 1960s and 70s it’s certainly packing a punch now.
