Ferries review?

Allegations of conflict between two ferry companies serving the Aran Islands seems certain to result in a review taking place of the use of the ferry facilities at Rossaveal, Co. Galway.

The Minister for the Marine, Mr. Fahey, has ordered a review into the situation which he claimed was contrary to the long-term interests of the harbour and ferry users.

The review is set to examine the use of ferry-related facilities, including car-parking at Rossaveal which has been approved for a £14.8 million development project, which includes provision of a dedicated ferry berth and deepwater berth.
Two ferry companies currently use Rossaveal for the link between the Galway mainland and the Aran Islands.
