P&O resumes Liverpool-Dublin service as government reviews contracts

Tory party co-chair voices revulsion' at ferry company's actions after 800 staff replaced with agency workers

P&O crossings between Liverpool and Dublin resumed on Saturday afternoon, two days after the ferry company suspended services when it sacked 800 staff and brought in replacement agency workers.

Labour had called on the government to step in and halt any crossings, as ministers confirmed that all government contracts with the company were being reviewed.
