Hundreds Planning To Sail To Ireland On Overnight Ferries Told To Turn Back Last Night
The last passengers and private cars allowed cross from Britain left Holyhead before 9PM last night, arriving in Dublin before the midnight deadline.
Stena Line is offering refunds to over 1,400 passengers who were booked to sail into Dublin and Rosslare today and tomorrow.
Spokesman Simon Palmer says it can only carry truckers and essential logistics workers now.
"We're afraid if you're due to sale out of Holyhead or Fishguard over the next 48 hours we're afraid, we will not be able to take you unless you are listed as an essential worker on the list of the government has published, which is basically maritime workers or truck drivers. Freight is unaffected."
