‘Massive decrease’ in tourists if ferry route suspended
The West Cork Tourism Co-Operative Society Limited, which owns the Fastnet Line service says data from the Irish Tourism Industry Confederation specifically highlights the West Cork and Kerry regions as performing poorly in attracting visitors in 2011.
The Cork-Swansea ferry is struggling to stay afloat. It is under examinership, with the High Court being told it had a deficit of €10.3 million on a going concern basis, rising to about €13.2m in a winding up scenario.
