But Minister says that's better than same period in 2020
The Villa Marina complex was running more than £266,000 over budget as of the last month of 2022.
That's according to the Education, Sport & Culture Minister who was asked today about government efforts to minimise costs at the venue.
However, Julie Edge says that figure is better than the same month for 2020.
She explains one of the possible reasons for the challenges facing events last year:
Man who launched attack on van driver sentenced
34-year-old handed 18 month suspended sentence
RNLI's last serving Mersey class boat visits the Island
12-20 Leonard Kent to be retired
Double victory for Island's heritage railways
Isle of Man claims two top spots in 2025 British Trams Online competition
Demolition work to get underway on Douglas high street site
Fencing erected around Marina Road property
Pan-Island Skills Test returns to the Isle of Man
Event to be held at UCM in February
