Irish Ferries services have returned to normal after Siptu agreed yesterday to call off its strike by ships officers.

The 9 a.m. sailing departed Dublin for Holyhead on time this morning, and the Pembroke-Rosslare sailing is on schedule to depart at 2 p.m., with the return sailing from Rosslare-Pembroke to depart at 9 p.m.

There are no sailings scheduled for France today.
