Consortium formed in bid to resurrect Cork-Swansea ferry service

A consortium of business people from the South West region, led by West Cork Tourism, have formed a co-operative in the hopes of raising €3 million in the coming days for the resumption of the Cork-Swansea ferry service.

The newly formed co-operative came together when a suitable ship became available for purchase at a realistic price. They are now calling for 300 people to pledge €10,000 each to ensure the future of the region. If successful, the initiative will translate to hundreds of jobs for the region.
