HOK to discuss impact of Manx athletes

Manx athletes will be a topic of discussion in the next House of Keys sitting tomorrow.

Arbory, Castletown and Malew MHK Jason Moorhouse has a number of questions on the matter, including what assessments have been made about how young athletes improve the perception of the Island in different countries?

Mr Moorhouse will also ask if any research has been done in how successful Island sports players can benefit the local economy; and how many under 16s athletes have got financial assistance in each of the last five years?

His queries will be put forward in the next Keys session on Tuesday which gets underway at 10am in Douglas.
