Sailings on Irish Ferries' Pembroke-Rosslare route have been extended by 15 minutes to four hours in either direction.

The new schedule started in January when Oscar Wilde (1987/34,417gt) maintained services while regular route vessel Isle of Inshore (1997/34,031gt) was away, first relieving on the Dublin-Holyhead run while Ulysses (2001/50,938gt) was overhauled at Birkenhead and then undergoing her own dry docking until 25 January.

Oscar Wilde re-opened Ireland-France services from Rosslare to Cherbourg on 5 February and ‘Dublin Swift' high speed services to Holyhead were also suspended until 21 January while the catamaran Jonathan Swift (1999/5,992gt) was dry-docked.
