P&O Ferries: Workers at Larne Harbour feel they're living a 'bad dream' after shock redundancies

Sacked P&O Ferries workers at Larne Port have described how they feel as though they're living a 'bad dream' after they were replaced with no notice by agency staff.

The Larne to Cairnryan ferry crews were among 800 staff who lost their jobs on Thursday, after the company suddenly suspended sailings.

Passengers were turned away from docks around the UK, with sailings delayed and cancelled. Stunned workers in Larne were escorted off their vessel, the European Causeway, by security wearing balaclavas and armed with handcuffs.
