A STRIKE which cancelled all of Irish Ferries' sailings and threatened the travel plans of 100,000 people has ended after 10 days.

All sailings on the Holyhead/Dublin and Pembroke/Rosslare routes have now returned to normal after management and unions returned to the negotiating table.

The fast ferry service from Holyhead to Dublin is resuming when weather conditions improve.

The strike was called after Irish Ferries' move to outsource staff on its Rosslare and Cherbourg service sparked workers' fears the policy would be extended to all routes.

All 606 Irish Ferries employees laid off because of the strike are being reinstated immediately.
