Tynwald sittings to go virtual

All sittings of the branches of Tynwald will be done virtually until further notice.

The measures have been brought in following the Island entering its three-week circuit breaker lockdown, with legislative buildings now closed.

Officials say staff there are now working from home where necessary - the next sitting of the court will take place virtually on Tuesday, January 19 and the next Legislative Council sitting will take place remotely on Wednesday, January 27.

Public proceedings will be able to be heard as usual on the Tynwald website.
