The Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture says it doesn't have the power to control wild goats.
Minister Geoffrey Boot was quizzed by Garff MHK Daphne Caine about the animals in Tynwald this week.

But he added as they don't pose a significant threat, monitoring or controlling them isn't a priority.
