Who or were are  the four hours saved .

How could the Irish government legally provide any "support" to a private sector company which operates in competition with othe private sector companies? And why would they bother given the company's approach to flagging out and foreign crews?

I absolutely agree , plus with Irish Ferries you never know when or where they might decide to switch operations. They will do what suits them commercially and not want the Government wants . They are not bound to any legal agreement with the Government and maybe they like it that way . As far as operating flags and crewing , Cyprus is a EU Country and if crews are from other EU countries they are not considered as being foreign as such , which is the way Irish Ferries see it .

The 60 Euro menu is not for the food but to keep the riff raff and the great unwashed away from the more well heeled passengers who want to feel like they deserve a higher standard of dining to go with those premium priced suites  .

Pont Aven off the schedule again and heading back to Brest ( rudder problem ) Armorique for Cork again this weekend .

The members over at the Brittany Ferries Enthusiasts site seem to think so . Although this was not Amorique's first visit to Cork ,having done berthing trials around ten years ago this was here first visit with passengers and vehicles .

Oscar Wilde has now arrived in the Med , passed Gibraltar this afternoon (Sun)

With her first visit to Cork Amorique holds the distinction as the only  Brittany Ferries vessel to have serviced every one of the companies destinations .

I am sure it has not escaped someone's eye considering that Brittany Ferries HQ is in Roscoff . The Connemara represents their brand weather or not they own it .

The crew are  not Brittany  Ferries employees either ,  so probably the reason for the not so Brittany Ferries standard of hull maintenance .

Nice pictures, someone in BF needs to get a few cans of white paint !

The thing is,she is not owned by Brittany Ferries .

Speaking of those doors , they took delivery trough those doors  over the last few days of pre fabricated hull sections from a barge .

DVD player's in cabins would make the on board cinema redundant ,plus the loss of income from same . Remember you are at sea on ship , so every revenue stream possible will be explored by IF .

She could always be chartered back from new owners if sold  , Epsilon was sold recently and is still under charter to IF .

Maybe a UK Government charter for brexit ,

Parking bays for 35 ships  ? , lazy journos .
