Wild Atlantic Way boosts Shannon ferry crossings by 20%

A ferry service connecting Clare and Kerry has seen numbers surge by almost 20% over the past two years through the promotion of the Wild Atlantic Way.

Shannon Ferry Group which operates the Shannon Breeze and Shannon Dolphin has already had to extend its high-season crossings due to demand.

The ferries which can take almost 120 cars between them, run between Tarbert, Co Kerry and Killimer in Clare from 7am to 9.30pm with crossings every 15 minutes.
