MHK Probes Manx Telecom Payments

A Glenfaba and Peel MHK has asked Enterprise Minister to disclose how much public funding his department provided to Manx Telecom for below‑ground infrastructure.

Kate Lord‑Brennan MHK wants the figures for 2025 and for the period after planning refusals led to appeals.

In a written question due for answer by April 9, she has requested figures for total funding approved or provided in 2025, as well as the amount issued after planning applications for new poles were refused and Manx Telecom lodged appeals.

She has also asked the Minister to confirm when each payment was made.
