Concern in Northern Ireland over fishing visas
New restrictions imposed on who can fish Manx waters
Island offers consumer fuel protection advice
Price of oil rises steeply due to conflict in Middle East
Douglas City Council proposes city centre initiatives including sculpture and markets
Funding bid submitted for projects aimed at boosting footfall and supporting local businesses
Fewer property sales in January but average price rises
Latest figures show average property price at £341,000
