Ferry company attempting contact with French passengers

Brittany Ferries are still trying to contact a number of French tourists, who are due to travel on tonight's cancelled sailing from Cork to Roscoff on the Pont-Aven.

This is the second weekend in a row that the new ferry has been put out of action by technical problems.

Spokesman Hugh Bruton says they have been able to contact and make alternative arrangements for all 1,800 Irish passengers.
