Infrastructure Minister Phil Gawne has apologised in the ongoing row over silt dredged from Peel Harbour.
Earlier this week the department began removing the silt, classed as controlled waste, and taking it to special ponds in Poortown for storage.
But the moves sparked anger from Peel residents after a number of spills on roads in the town, and German Commissioners are due to host a public meeting on the issue tomorrow evening.
Today, Mr Gawne admitted the department could have explained itself better:
Victoria Road reopens following fire at unoccupied property
Eating disorders 'more common than people realise' on the Isle of Man
Warning about effects of nicotine pouches on youngsters
Mineral deposits 'worth exploring but possibly not large enough for commercial success'
