No funding for Northern Ireland - Scotland ferry link
Date: 21 Oct 2006 00:00 Source: Belfast TelegraphMinisters have rejected a plea to fund the restoration of a ferry service between Northern Ireland and Scotland, which ran at a loss from 1997-1999.
Direct rule minister Maria Eagle has told MPs no financial support can be offered to reinstate the ferry between Ballycastle and Campbeltown on the Kintyre peninsula.
She made her comments despite previous all-party support and an agreement between the Northern Ireland Office and the Scottish Executive to share the cost of a £1m a year subsidy
Alan Reid, Lib Dem MP for Argyll and Bute, blamed tactics being used by NIO ministers to persuade parties to restore the Stormont executive.
