Good morning, Hon. Members. Members: Moghrey mie, Mr Speaker. 5 The Speaker: In the absence of our Chaplain, I shall lead us in prayer. PRAYERS The Speaker Leave of absence granted The Speaker: Thank you, Hon. Members. I have given leave of absence to the Chaplain to attend the excitement of the Archdeacons’ Conference. 1. Questions for Oral Answer TREASURY 1.1. Budget process – Public engagement The Hon. Member for Ramsey (Mr Hooper) to ask the Minister for the Treasury: What plans he has to improve public engagement with the Budget process? 10 The Speaker: We now turn to Questions for Oral Answer. Question 1, I call on the Hon. Member for Ramsey, Mr Hooper. Mr Hooper: Thank you, Mr Speaker. I would like to ask the Minister for the Treasury what plans he has to improve public 15 engagement with the Budget process? The Speaker: Treasury Minister to reply. ________________________________________________________________________ 177 K134 HOUSE OF KEYS, TUESDAY, 24th JANUARY 2017 The Minister for the Treasury (Mr Cannan): Mr Speaker, one of the objectives laid out in our 20 Programme for Government is that we have open and transparent Government which engages effectively with Tynwald and the public. In that respect, Mr Speaker, I can tell the Hon. House that immediately following the Budget, the following day, I will engage with an invited audience at a business network briefing which will take place on February 22nd. I will also engage with a business breakfast on 24th February. I 25 will be appearing on Manx Radio’s Sunday Opinion on 26th February and taking questions from the public who choose to phone in. I will also be attending a Positive Action Group meeting on February 27th in the evening, where again I will be able to engage directly with members of the public about the Budget. In addition, the Treasury will also be helping produce a special distribution on the Budget which will be published by Isle of Man Newspapers. 30 As a signatory to the Programme for Government, I recognise that having some form of budgetary consultation process is increasingly becoming normal amongst some local authorities and some governments. I have already discussed this matter with the Treasury officers and we will continue to give consideration as to how we might bring matters further forward in this respect. 35 The Speaker: Hon. Member for Ramsey, Mr Hooper. Mr Hooper: Thank you, Mr Speaker. I would like to thank the Minister for that long list of post-Budget engagements he will be 40 undertaking with the community. I am also very supportive of his budgetary consultation process. The question I have got is: has the minister considered participatory budgeting, whereby a portion of the Budget is left open to a public vote, which can be spent on projects raised by the local communities? This is a system that seems to work very well in larger jurisdictions – places 45 like Boston or New York – and I would ask the Minister if this is something that forms part of his plans for encouraging greater participation in our small jurisdiction? The Speaker: Minister. 50 The Minister: Mr Speaker, as I have already said in my Answer, I recognise that having some form of budgetary consultation process is increasingly becoming normal amongst local authorities and some government bodies. I have already discussed this with Treasury officers. We are looking carefully at that situation to see whether it could apply effectively to the Isle of Man. 55 The Speaker: Hon. Member for Arbory, Castletown and Malew, Mr Moorhouse. Mr Moorhouse: Thank you, Mr Speaker. Will the Minister be visiting secondary schools over the next couple of months to discuss, 60 with the economist, the intricacies of the Budget process? The Speaker: Treasury Minister. The Minister: That is not in the plans at the moment, Mr Speaker. 65 ________________________________________________________________________ 178 K134 HOUSE OF KEYS, TUESDAY, 24th JANUARY 2017 1.2. Disability Living Allowance – Differences from UK The Hon. Member for Douglas North (Mr Ashford) to ask the Minister for the Treasury: What the difference is between the rates of Disability Living Allowance payable in the Isle of Man and in the United Kingdom; what assessment he has made of the implications of that difference for a disabled individual trying to purchase a mobility vehicle in the Island; and if he will make a statement? The Speaker:

  • Manx Place-Names: an Ulster View
    37 Manx Place-Names: an Ulster View Kay Muhr In this chapter I will discuss place-name connections between Ulster and Man, beginning with the early appearances of Man in Irish tradition and its association with the mythological realm of Emain Ablach, from the 6th to the I 3th century. 1 A good introduction to the link between Ulster and Manx place-names is to look at Speed's map of Man published in 1605.2 Although the map is much later than the beginning of place-names in the Isle of Man, it does reflect those place-names already well-established 400 years before our time. Moreover the gloriously exaggerated Manx-centric view, showing the island almost filling the Irish sea between Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales, also allows the map to illustrate place-names from the coasts of these lands around. As an island visible from these coasts Man has been influenced by all of them. In Ireland there are Gaelic, Norse and English names - the latter now the dominant language in new place-names, though it was not so in the past. The Gaelic names include the port towns of Knok (now Carrick-) fergus, "Fergus' hill" or "rock", the rock clearly referring to the site of the medieval castle. In 13th-century Scotland Fergus was understood as the king whose migration introduced the Gaelic language. Further south, Dundalk "fort of the small sword" includes the element dun "hill-fort", one of three fortification names common in early Irish place-names, the others being rath "ring­ fort" and lios "enclosure".

  • Eight Hour Coastal Tour
    Eight Hour Coastal Tour To start this coastal tour, you will be picked up at the Sea Terminal and driven north along Douglas Promenade, around Onchan Head and along the coast road to Groudle Glen. Groundle Glen After a short time spent relaxing, walking in the Glen and taking in the sea views, we drive on towards Laxey. Laxey After spending a little while wandering around Laxey’s quaint waterfront, we set off North along the coastal road stopping at Dhoon Glen. Dhoon Glen Dhoon Glen is picturesque but the walk down to the sea is very steep. Some people may find it too difficult to walk back, so if you are a little unsteady on your feet or prone to get tired on steep walks you may wish to stay on the higher level of the Glen. For those who are a little fitter, the walk down to the sea has its rewards. The Glen is only small but very beautiful and boasts a small waterfall. When we leave Doon Glen, we carry on north toward Ramsey, passing through Glen Mona village and the parish of Margould. Ramsey Ramsey is the second largest town on the Isle of Man and has quite a nice choice of shops. You may wish to spend a little time here browsing through the many small shops along the high Street (Parliament Street). You will also get the chance for a little refreshment in one of the town’s cafes or pubs. When we leave Ramsey, we travel further north to the Point of Ayre Lighthouse.

As we look back over the past term we realise what a memorable one it has been ; perhaps the most memorable in the history of Colleger Scarcely had it begun when it was interrupted by the celebration of V.-E. Day by a two days' holiday, and before it closed the visit of the King and Queen had sealed it in our memories. The visit is recorded elsewhere, but it is fitting to mention here what a great impression it made upon the School, most of whom were seeing Their Majesties for the first time. It will be commemor- ated by an illuminated parchment in the entrance hall, by the title of the newly-named King's Court, and in the minds of the boys by the extra week's holiday which resulted from it. Now, however, it is all over, and so are the examinations, which came hard on its heels. We are able to sit back for a brief space and enjoy some rest and quiet after all the fuss and bother of the last few weeks.
