If they are so poverty stricken after all the money that has poured in, that clearly demonstrates that pouring more money in won't achieve anything. Nothing big in the way of industry could operate there because of the geography of the county.

Stena Line offers 28 daily sailings from UK to Ireland, Irish Ferries 6 sailings, against 7 ferry crossings per WEEK from France to Ireland, taking 18hrs or more each way. Bit of a difference.
The government promised no reduction in funding. 5% of a previous funding seems to be a reduction in my book. Whether you agree that Cornwall should receive this funding is irrelevant. A promise is a promise. Where has Cornwall asked for a lump sum to do with as they please?

My point was that a new Ireland to France service has been established, so DFDS must think there's demand there and it can be used for priority traffic like medicines.
