Currently no ID checks required when arriving by boat, confirms Department of Home Affairs
The Department of Home Affairs has confirmed there is no legal requirement to show ID when travelling to the Isle of Man by boat.
Minister Jane Poole-Wilson faced questions on what data is collected about passenger movements and whether the government can track people overstaying illegally.

Carers: 'They are often the quiet heroes of our Island'
Hooper: 'Time to bite the bullet and build new hospital'
'No final decisions' made yet about relocating dementia patients says Manx Care
'We want to provide a facility for almost anybody'
