Cork Developments

70,000 trucks per annum is a lot of trucks :

Hop on the bus in Cork and get off in France with new year-round ferry route

The ferry service has created an estimated 250 jobs between the two countries

Nice. Sounds like the episode of The Simpsons where Homer was in charge of rubbish collection

Children’s play area in Cork estate getting swamped in raw sewage as residents ‘at their wits’ end’

The residents of a west Cork housing estate are "at their wit's end" dealing with a failing wastewater treatment plant that is spilling raw sewage into a children’s play area, a county council meeting has heard.

This beauty is on her way to Cork from France right now, should be here lunchtime tomorrow Thursday.
This is the St Patrick, that and another ship called Akka will be operating the new Hibernia lines daily ferry service to Boulogne-sur-Mer starting officially next Monday night at 21:00 from Ringaskiddy

This is the other ship the MV Akka. Appearantly she is the biggest RORO ever to sail from here to France and certainly the biggest ever to serve Cork

Looks great Meridian - I’ve signed up to take the roadster on a motoring tour later in the summer. Looking forward to disembarking in the centre of things

Best of luck with that and safe travels.
I think this new service is a game changer for Cork in general.

Will report back after the spins MeridianY. 21 hours is certainly enough time to chill out on the water.
Over the years we’ve done the spins every way - some of them done a few times.

- Drive to Rosslare / Ferry to Fishguard/ Drive across Blighty / Car on the train to Calais

- Drive to Rosslare / Ferry to Cherbourg

- Drive to Rosslare / Ferry to Fishguard / Drive across Blighty / Ferry to Hook of Holland

- Drive to Rosslare / Ferry to Fishguard / Drive across Blighty / Ferry to Esbjerg

- Ferry from Ringaskiddy to Roscoff / Drive all the way across France

- Ferry Cork-Swansea / Drive to Plymouth / Ferry to Santander

This is definitely a way simpler spin. It’s always a brilliant buzz driving onto the ferry with the car loaded up with the tent and the camping equipment and a few weeks of adventure ahead - the time of your life, like.

Nothing at all new to you so, you are an old hand at this stage.
