MV Normandy - Repeat blockade planned

French dock workers plan to repeat their blockade of the Irish Ferries ship, the MV Normandy, in the coming week.

It follows last Monday's disruption which left passengers stranded for more than nine hours on the vessel in Cherbourg. 

Workers were protesting over what they say are low wages being paid by Irish Ferries to eastern European staff.
