Chief Minister Alf Cannan says plans for a Covid memorial garden have been paused because the government doesn't have the money to build it.
The Department of Infrastructure was due to build it at Coill Y Ree gardens in St John's and estimated the garden commemorating those who lost their lives during the pandemic would cost £150,000.
In Tynwald this week, Mr Cannan said those costs would likely have risen significantly since the initial work was done and the DOI didn't have the cash to create it.
And he added government priorities lie elsewhere:
