More than a hundred people attended a public meeting in St John's last night to discuss the dredging of Peel harbour.
Hazardous silt is currently being transferred from the harbour to a site near Poortown quarry.
Infrastructure and Environment Ministers Phil Gawne and Richard Ronan answered questions from Chairman of German Commissioners Matthew Wadsworth as well as a lively audience.
Public opinion was divided when the three-hour meeting was finally called to a close:
CM candidate: 'All MHKs equal regardless of experience'
Victoria Road reopens following fire at unoccupied property
Charity cyclists receives warm welcome from colleagues
Eating disorders 'more common than people realise' on the Isle of Man
