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:
Mountain Road shut for skate setup later
Bus diversions for tin bath day tomorrow
MP criticises Island's fishing visa rules in Westminster
Post Office won't release Evri documents as courier prepares to leave Island
Strix to shut Ramsey factory
