“The loss of a Swansea/Cork Ferry Service would have a minimal impact on tourism in the City & West Cork”
John O’Donoghue -
ex-Minister for Tourism - now Chairman of the Dail

We’ve asked quite a few Cork & Kerry business people for a suitable quote in reply to John’s statement - but we couldn’t find anything that we could print !

In summary - they didn’t agree! ..... and that’s putting it very mildly.........

“An overall loss to the South-west region of €35m - the ferry brought an average of 105,000 visitors and 40,000 cars each year”
Cllr Dermot Sheehan
