  Irish Ferries RORO vessel 'Isle of Inishmore' is due to come into service on the Dover-Calais route at the end of this month. Previously running on the Ireland/Wales route this ferry has transferred to Dover recently and has undertaken berthing trials over the last week or so.

  If we want to encourage poor wages etc that's fine
  But that will have an impact on the other ferry services to a decline in. Wages etc

  That all depends on your priorities, the unemployed having a job and not being a burden to the state versus the pay for those already employed.

  I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.
