The Isle of Man will not be accepting any Syrian refugees but will instead send more money.
A group of local charities recently gave the chief minister a petition asking for the government to re-assess the decision not to take in 25 refugees.
Last week the Council of Ministers decided the Island was not in a position to take in the families so would instead send an extra £1 million to the United Nations High Commission For Refugees.
Chief Minister Howard Quayle says his officers will be working hard to ensure the money gets to where it is needed most:
Multiple riders stopped for offences on Mountain Road
More childcare support available for next school year
Superstock race to be rescheduled to tomorrow
Former infrastructure minister to defend seat
Fundraiser launched for paralysed TT star
Keep jet skis out of swimming areas, says Coastguard
Peel's first live beach gig called off
