Plans to relaunch Cork-Swansea ferry on hold until 2010

PLANS to relaunch the Cork-Swansea ferry route have been dry-docked for this year.

The co-operative behind the venture – which has already purchased a vessel – says it’s now too late in the season to launch it.

Conor Buckley, chairman of West Cork Tourism, which formed the co-operative, said it would be more prudent to start operations early next March so they can capitalise on a full tourist season.
