Interestingly when I looked at this sailing when it first came out they had no way to book on a website, didn’t take dogs and it departed at midnight and arrived 24 hrs later at midnight. Now they do have a bookable website, dogs in cabins appear to be €30 and I saw a sailing leaving at 8pm.
It won’t suit us for our outward journey in 24 as we will go to Bilbao or Santander then over to Barcelona to The port outside Rome before crossing to Patras probably from Bari. But as we intend to drive up through Greece to Croatia on the return we may get this route back to Rosslare.

Might have a look at this for September. Recon it would save 400 miles driving with associated costs if heading to Germany or Holland

When I looked on their website it had 2 categories of MH, small <6 long and standard <10m long <4 high. So that might work in your favour too.

Yeh but when you get price and go to pay it doesn’t say it’s compulsory unless it says to pay at the very last stage of payment

With the European elections coming up. we should all including Family's and Friends, lay into these would be Poli-Tick's and get a commitment from them, that they will carry a message to the EU, that we are being Discriminated against simply because we live on an island, and that they request and lobby for some kind of subsidy for all Tourists traveling by Air and particularly by Sea, from and to Ireland, as we are being Ripped Off by Ferry company's and Airline's.

We should try to bring this up in any conversation with, TV, Radio and Newspaper.

Can i add that I had thought of booking this for later in the year, but was unsure of my plans and dates
So I contacted them on live chat to ask about there cancellation and Flexi fares.
I was told and i quote "in basic terms that the route is so small in their business terms that there is no refunds or flexi fares"

if you feel strongly about that, you simply won’t want to hear this , cost to ferry animals from Ukraine to Ireland to their owners now living in Ireland

I did hear about that, but as a dog owner ourselves, i know I would go to some length to repatriate her if it ever became necessary.
