Give the Ireland ferry a push

Meant to say mine is off too.

Good to see support on the board - was wondering as there hasn't been that much discussion on it.

Email sent from here as well. We'll lobby Moyle Council and the movers and shakers at this end too. Heard your man Lyon on the radio on the issue - he's good.

Was speaking to James Robertson today who said he was reading this thread with interest and encouraged by the local support (and over the water etc!).

Couple of things - can you e-mail as many friends as you know and encourage them to e-mail scottish.ministers@scotland.gov.uk (see start of this thread for details)

Can you also logon to the Courier website

http://www.campbeltowncourier.co.uk/

and vote (I think the question is a bit ambigous - although some people may think it is Dead in the Water - it doesn't mean they would want to see it that way!)

Dear Oorly G. and all on the board ,

Great Post Oorly , I've sent mine.
I agree Davie , it's great to see all the support from the board. Lets hope the power of modern tecnology will ensure that , this time , the voice of the people will make the poloticians sit up and smell the roses.
Making the difference and not just saying ' No Company Tendered , so No Ferry ' could encourage more people to vote for them , wouldn't that be ' A Good Job Done ' and worthy of inclusion in their next Election Leaflets.

Come on Everyone Send The E-Mail
Frosty

I received an e-mail asking about setting up an on-line petition about the Irish Ferry and backing the local bid.

I did a quick scan of the internet and found the following website

http://www.petitionthem.com/default.asp

Anyone willing to try and set this up? I just don't have the resource to do it - I lost a weekend dealing with the board when I really should have been doing other work on the website.

Anyone, please?

Just found the other link that Scotty posted on here sometime ago

Who would you rather see running the Irish ferry?

Dalriada Shipping based locally or a French group based in France.

And who is backing who?

Does it really matter who? Of course it's gotta go ahead in the first place.

I received a standard reply today from David McGeown of the Executive's Correspondence Unit that refers to the "CAMPBELLTOWN - Ballycastle Ferry". :!:

Just sent my email off, but it will most likely be swept under the carpet and be ignored. If this service was running from anywhere but Campbeltown it would have not been an issue and im sure a success and a service would be operating, I think from the very beginning the fact that on the Irish side a lot of people didnt even know of it's existence was rather strange how could this have been a success when there was very little advertising and promotion.
