IOM Green Party urges DOI not to allow amendment
Granting a variation to Crogga's licence to drill for gas in Manx waters would go against the will of Tynwald, according to the Isle of Man Green Party.
Crogga has asked to begin drilling before completing a 3D seismic survey.
The Department of Infrastructure says it's continuing to consider the company's request and will issue a response to the political party's latest letter in due course.
Secretary Andrew Langan-Newton has told Manx Radio changes to the licence are so significantly different that it can't be considered a mere variation:
Amber weather warning issued as strong winds and coastal conditions expected overnight
Hospice funding criticised by UK charity chief amid Isle of Man service cuts
Sailings cancelled as storm brings gale-force winds
Manx Mountain Marathon route diverted over safety concerns amid forecast strong winds
