Matter raised during House of Keys questions
The environment, food and agriculture minister says his department is not aware of any illegal dumping of animal waste in the Isle of Man.
Richard Ronan was responding to a question from Onchan MHK Peter Karran in the House of Keys.
Mr Karran wanted to know what recent checks into such dumping had been carried out.
Mr Ronan said elements of Mr Karran's questioning may also be better directed elsewhere:
