Substance cleaned up
A clean-up took place this morning following what's believed to be a red diesel spillage into the sea at Peel breakwater.
The operation involving the Coastguard and the Department of Infrastructure took a couple of hours to complete with only a very small amount remaining in the water.
Absorbent equipment is still being used to collect the last remnants.
