Infrastructure Minister Tim Crookall says his department spent hundreds of thousands of pounds resurfacing a road in Derbyhaven because it was on the Island's priority list.
During this week's House of Keys sitting, he was questioned about the project by Arbory, Castletown and Malew MHK Jason Moorhouse.
Mr Crookall said last year, £276,000 was spent improving Derbyhaven Road in Castletown because it met the DOI's criteria.
He explained how the list of priorities was put together:
TT 2026 drone ban regulations laid next month
Could reservoir hold unexploded bombs?
Closure of TT course section extended this afternoon
Police release more details about weekend brawl
Tumble-dried clothes catch light in Ballasalla
UK accused of dragging its heels over Manx assisted dying law
