Co-op has ‘fighting chance’ of resuming ferry service

THE tourism co-operative which runs the Fastnet Line believes it has “a real fighting chance” of reactivating the Cork-Swansea ferry service next season.

The High Court recently appointed an examiner in the hope of securing a future for the car and passenger ferry.

A spokeswoman for West Cork Tourism Cooperative, which owns the company, said it has agreed to present an investment proposal to the examiner early next year in order to ensure the survival of the service between Ireland and Wales.
