Moore Stephens Nathans has been appointed auditor to the group of companies recently set up under the name Fastnet Line to operate a new passenger and freight ferry link between Swansea in Wales and Cork in Ireland.

THEY had their doubters – but a co-operative of ordinary people watched with pride yesterday as their new passenger ferry sailed in to the heart of Cork city.

AFTER months of negotiation, a co-operative has completed the €7.8 million deal for a car and passenger ferry that will reopen the Cork-Swansea route.
