An emergency incident occurred on the Stena Nordica ferry en route to Rosslare when a woman sustained fatal injuries. The captain called for assistance as the ferry approached the port, prompting an immediate response from armed gardaí and public order units. A crime scene has been established, and student witnesses were likely present at the time. Consequently, the next sailings from Rosslare to Fishguard, including ones scheduled later that night, have been canceled as investigations continue, with authorities stating that public safety is currently not an issue.
A spokesperson for Stena Line said: "An incident occurred this afternoon on the 14:00 sailing from Fishguard to Rosslare. This is a police matter, so please direct all further questions to the gardaí."
A local garda source confirmed that a woman had been fatally injured on board. Armed gardaí and the public order unit are currently at the scene this evening and a crime scene has been declared.
