1,500 passengers hit as ferry sailings cancelled

Almost 1,500 passengers have been hit by a ferry fault which has forced the cancellation of Brittany Ferries’ sailings from Cork to France and Spain this weekend.

The ferry company, which operates its flagship vessel, Pont-Aven, between Cork and Roscoff in northern France and the Connemara vessel between Cork and Santander in northern Spain, confirmed that weekend sailings on both routes have been cancelled.
