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:
Douglas scout group hit by development uncertainty
Westmoreland Village project having 'negative impact'
New minister queries whether HMOs should be licensed
Callister considering it as part of housing plan
Cannan to raise windfarm conflict of interest issue
Former chief minister asking questions from the backbench
Peel Commissioners hope contested by-election will give residents 'choice'
Nominations in Peel close on 4 November
