It is possible they will keep the same staff if the route is running well.
That might mean Rory will continue to support this site and its members.

more doubtful than possible as it will have to conform to their corporate identity and they hate to give discounts.

They will have competition on the France crossing with Irish ferries and LD lines,3 operators out of 1 small country,i don't think there's not that many traveling to France all year round.

They now will have a say in all crossings out of Ireland
the prices will rise !!

celtic ferries, 17 hours on a ferry plus cabin each way 260 quid in sept
stenna ferries, 3 hours on a ferry , no cabin, 300 quid !!!

you do the maths and see if you can make sense of pricing......

Stena have already been investigated by the Monopolies Commission and now they have another route out of Ireland. Celtic Ferries was the only Irish owned ferry company.

Will have to wait and see what happens, but I like others on here think it cannot be a good thing.

good man Rory,
I certainly have benefitted from Rory and his team along with quite a few other mccni members.
Rory has a sound knowledge of motor homers needs and is always on the ball regarding deals, pricing, timings etc.

Let's hope Rory talks some sense to that Stena crowd. Look what the did on the Belfast/Liverpool crossing. It's that expensive one would be better to give them the motorhome. In fact they don't want motorhomes on it anyway. Lets hope the same thing doesn't happen with Celtic.
