Cork islands to receive new heavy cargo service

A heavy cargo service is to be provided for the four islands in West Cork.

A Government grant is being provided for the service to Cape Clear, Sherkin Island, Hare Island and Long Island.

It will run for 50 days over the next year at a cost of €950 per sailing.

Minister of State Dinny McGinley says the grant will ensure that the people living on the islands have a reliable cargo service, thereby reducing their living costs.
