We on Islay are once again suffering disruptions to our ferry service at one of our busiest times of the year. How many more times will this have to happen before a solution is found?
The hard-pressed taxpayers have been subsidising the CalMac ferry service for decades yet these problems with our service seem to be increasing as time goes on.
Our economy is growing on Islay in both heavy industry and tourism alike but that growth is being stifled by the frankly inept management of CalMac.
