The e-mail below was sent before I came on the board tonight and I hope that he has a few hundred more to open on Monday morning. Just copy and paste and send to:- scottish.ministers@scotland.gov.uk

The failure of the Scottish Executive to deliver the re-introduction of the Campbeltown - Ballycastle ferry service has been met with disappointment in Kintyre and beyond.
I would ask the Transport Minister to provide reasons why the four interested companies did not submit tender documents. Was the proposed million pound subsidy too low?
I would also ask the Minister to give due credence and encouragement to the offer from Dalriada Shipping Company to take on the route.
Just to keep this topic onboard.
I take it everyone who has e-mailed will have by now received an acknowledgement letter from The Scottish Executive and that a reply will be sent as soon as possible.
