€500k sought to restart ferry link

Three local authorities in the South-West are to be asked to find approximately €500,000 to help restart the Cork-Swansea ferry link.

Representatives from Fastnet Line Ship Holdings Ltd are expected to attend a special meeting of Cork County Council next Monday at which they will outline a business plan for the company, which is in examinership.

They will also address a scheduled meeting of Cork City Council later the same day and are expected to communicate their request to Kerry County Council shortly.
