If you read the documents on the planning application/appeal that's exactly what they have done.

Sadly, the luddites have found someone to say the opposite! If they're that keen, let Masker, Guard, Kelly and Co. buy it and spend their own money on it.

Hopefully, common sense will prevail, in the end.

I see Maska committee are recommending Manx national heritage take over control for  all registered buildings amongst other things, it would be even worse if MNH were controlling planning, we’d have everything turned into museum pieces with tax payers money!

Yes , another good reason to house the Peggy in there it is MHT that is on the scrounge for 3 million towards building a super shelter for her, it will be costing about 6 million altogether!!!! Now that is a few new knees , hips etc or roughly half the estimated  cost of a new school to replace Castle Rushen High School.    Let us start getting our priorities right.  All vanity projects should be put on hold or kicked into the long grass something this Government is experienced at.

Where would you put the Peggy?  If it is Newsons, surely the property owners may have something to say about it?

It is an old rowing boat by handed down story and myth was involved in smuggling so not exactly anything to be proud of.   Heaven knows how much has been spent on tarting it up and now the MHT has allegedly raised 3 million pounds by private subscription and are on the beg to Tynwald to give them another 3 million pounds of tax payers money to pay for a posh shed which will require upkeep and probably staff such as a cleaner and a guide to show the crowds of visitors an old rowing boat which, the story goes, was used long ago for smuggling.   The cheek of the people concerned leaves me breathless do they not know we are skint.    The Victorians had soup kitchens we have a food bank and homelessness, progress I don’t think so.
