The Department for Enterprise says it won't know how much government money has been recovered from a failed TT merchandise business until it's been liquidated.
Cube International - which won the contract to supply official TT merch - collapsed in 2023 owing more than £160,000.
A Freedom of Information request to the DfE asked how much money had already been recovered.
But the department says the liquidation - started last February - wasn't yet complete and so it didn't have the figure.
