The vessels formerly used by the Carlingford Lough ferry service are expected to be moved from Carlingford Harbour, members of Louth County Council have been told.
At the latest meeting of the local authority, Cllr Fiona Mhic Choncoille sought an update on enforcement notices issued to owners of vessels in Carlingford Harbour.
The councillor also queried whether the former ferry vessels were included in the enforcement process, noting that they had been moored in the harbour for more than a year.
Responding on behalf of Louth County Council, Director of Service David Hanratty said the local authority had been in contact with the ferry operators, who had “indicated their willingness to move” the vessels from the north Louth harbour.
The update comes amid continuing uncertainty over the future of the cross-border ferry service.
The future of the once-popular route remains unclear after summer sailings were postponed entirely in 2026, with no indication as to if or when the service will return.
