Plans for ferry link with English town

CORK may soon get a new ferry link, if a west of England town has its way.

A highly-influential group in Ilfracombe, north Devon, has been in talks with an unidentified ferry company, which could involve the use of a conventional vessel or hydro-foil catamarans to link both ports.

The Ilfracombe and District Alliance, which compiled the report, is preparing to put the findings into action.
