Rosslare IRISH FERRIES

No france sailings from rosslare 2019 is this true ANY HELP

I find it mind boggling if it’s true. There are quite a few large haulage firms locally that use that route a lot. Can’t see them all hooking it up to Dublin. Good chance for Stena to upgrade their ship to France then

Neither Rosslare or Roscoff can handle the WB Yeats.
My ex Irish Ferries mate is telling me that Rosslare to Roscoff will be only a summer holidays service using possible the Epilison.
Traditional the Epilison covered Dublin to Cherbourg for the summer at the weekend while doing Dublin to Hollyhead during the week.
It stands to reason for them to use the Epilison for Saturday out of Rosslare.
The wine merchants in Roscoff are going to have a poor summer.

According to their own website, they say they will be operating a Rosslare to Cherbourg and Roscoff service with the Oscar Wilde !!!!

Well if that’s the case, I and a lot of customers from the south east will be switching to Stena, as unpalatable as that is. Bye bye Irish Ferries

I've booked Stena, there is a ship and it is going to France and the dogs are free I F

"I find it very hard to believe that there is enough of business to justify the yeats and oscar to sail this year"

Don't forget that if the UK crashes out, there will be increased demand for direct routes to France [and Spain]

Well all kinds of businesses are holding back on decisions because of this mess that is Brexit. Surely the ferry companies are scratching their heads too.

Good point Ally !

Many thanks to you and everyone using the link. Now Davy, you're just showing off, two bookings indeed

Unfortunatly Rosslare harbour is controlled and operated by C.I.E., the parent company of Iarnród Éireann, so there's no hope of any logical thinking or planning while gombeens like that are in charge.

Yeah So, makes perfect business sense .... sure what’s wrong with you ... 🤪🤪

In Greystones when the Dart started the Imp buses to bring people to and from the station and the regular outline 84bus to Newcastle and killcool that had a timed stop at the station,would pull out when the train Whistle sounded crossing the bridge coming into the town.

Another victim of the Motorway network.
Its a tough one for the area for sure, I never liked the run to Rosslare from Cork, it took longer than driving to Dublin.
I used it last year with Stena to Cherbourg because we were heading up to Amsterdam and Cherbourg made more sense.
Booked Cork-Santander this year with BF, Its expensive but compared to the IF Dublin to Cherbourg route its only about 600 more and a lot less tolls and driving to Spain.

Are we surprised that a company that the Irish Government sold out Irish Shipping to and then allowed them to Sack their Irish workforce and continue to use the Irish name all the while sailing under a Flag of convenience in and out of Irish Ports operating with a non-national crew?
Are we surprised that they don't give a sh*t for the people in Rosslare/ Roscoff or the Irish south of a line from Wexford to Galway
" Irish Ferries said a majority of its customers have "a clear preference for the more central location and easy access of Dublin."
MY arse. did any of you, or do you know anyone who was surveyed by or on behalf of I.F. I as a customer of more than 25 years going out of the same port have never been asked?

Labour leader and Wexford TD Brendan Howlin has said the decision to "abandon... the shortest sea route to France just as Brexit kicks in" is "inexplicable".
Brendan, you should take Labor from in front of your name it's a bit late Howlin about this now.

"With Brexit just over the horizon this decision is truly baffling," Sinn Féin's Brexit spokesperson Mr. Cullinane said in a statement.
" What stone have you been living under "

Brittany Ferries ( Headquarters: Roscoff, France ) rows in to help Irish Ferries customers after the fiasco with people who booked with Irish Ferries, WB Yeats,
Brittany Ferries chief executive Christophe Mathieu said some people who had booked trips to France with Irish Ferries had rebooked with his company
Mr. Mathieu pointed out the company’s shareholders still represent the same collective of French farmers who launched the business.
Will they come to the aid of their own people in Roscoff and the Irish.
Which Snug is Minister Ross hiding in while drafting some new piece of road safety initiative to distract attention away from the ports and the inevitable loss of tourists driving around the Sunny South East.

They must be FISH Farmers , Martin!
I traveled with them once in 2012 and never since, being a farmer they pi**ed me off that time and I find it hard to believe that the shareholders are Farmers, especially French Farmers.

If I want a 'luxurious experience' on a ship I'll book a cruise on Royal Carribean or Celebrity Cruises or one of the other cruise lines.
If I want a ferry to get me from A to B, basic comfort and decent grub at competitive prices are all I want.

The European commission asked for proposals last Autumn, regarding a ferry freight service from Ireland to northern Europe. A couple of Dutch and Belgium ports summitted proposals. This frightened the French into looking at Calais.
However with the immigrant issues in Calais, will be a major turn off.
Interesting, Belview, Waterford port, looked for deep water status.
