I said that last year. Still, not as bad as the catastrophe that is CALMAC and the Ferguson Nationalised shipyard @ £600 million and growing, eh?

Omobono Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 just read the weasel words in next years budget statement it will all be in the fine print , the extra money will still need to be found , all that happened today was someone did the headcount in Tynwald and realised they were about to get their Arse kicked all over the debating chamber , same with the work permits , and surprise surprise huge rise in the minimum wage in the UK announced today , its got to effect business and just watch treasury reaction , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asitis Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 There are so many inconsistencies throughout the reasoning for this shambles this should be subject to a full public enquiry, not the carpet slippers of the PAC ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That won’t happen, after all, the Covid inquiry isn’t a public inquiry. Even with the limited PAC report published, it hasn’t really caused a revolution has it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they accidentally reveal the £50+ million cost in a written response? I would guess it comes down to this: Quote But Mr Baker said there would also be a substantial extra cost of protecting the quay wall from the bow thrusters of the ferries. He said there was an obligation to protect landlord Peel Ports’ assets and his department was close to an agreement. But until this had happened it would be wrong to estimate how much the extra cost would be - although he said it would be ’substantial’. And although 'until this happened ... it would be wrong to estimate' it looks like they had estimated and it was pretty large. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
