He'd already issued a written apology, acknowledging that his claim was not accurate.
Addressing the court this week, he says, while many tourist accommodation providers achieve high levels of occupancy, it is the case that many still have spare capacity.
He spoke to Manx Radio's Political Correspondent, Phil Gawne:
