A ’joke’ made by a Department of Infrastructure employee caused consternation online today.

The social media post, referring to the storm, said: ’Like most women Eunice changes her mind what she’s doing.’

The DoI subsequently said: 'The Department of Infrastructure is aware of a message posted on this page, and subsequently deleted, which fell below the standards expected of our organisation.

’Measures are being taken to ensure this does not happen again.’

While there were some negative comments posted afterwards, most were positive, saying they appreciated the humour.

The story has now been followed up by the Daily Mail. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10527887/Isle-Man-government-slammed-saying-Storm-Eustice-changed-mind-like-women.html
