Deadline today for tender to provide a fast ferry service to Tory Island under a 12 month contract

Today is the deadline for ferry operators to submit tenders to provide a “fast ferry” service to Tory Island for a 12 month period.

The Department of Rural and Community Development provides a subsidy for running ferry services to a number of islands off the coast.

It recently advertised an invitation to tender for this service.

A number of different operators have provided services to Tory Island over the years.

According to the invitation to submit tenders, the value of the contract is €102,000, excluding VAT.
