- Just before Holyrood closed for the summer, the SNP were blasted once again for problems for the redevelopment of Adrossan harbour
Delays still plague the harbour and the improvements needed to make sure new ferries can operate from the harbour and sail to Arran.

Just take the money for Ardrossan harbour back out of the embezzled funds already there.
The SNP bench in Holyrood is a monument to morbid obesity.
"Wee Fi" doesn't like being asked questions!! " The path is deep and wide with footsteps leading to Greggs.
SNP out and disbanded
Ardrossan Harbour is the gateway to Arran for nearly 200 years? Surely the business model has been well and truly proved!. What have the SNP been doing for the past 6 years, where is the money?🤔
Get them out there are finished..totally ruined Scotland ...Scottish election ASAP
One guess as to who ate all the pies ... clearly an adherent to the Ian Blackford school of politics.
No need to comment on the incompetence of the SNP.
As Billy Connolly once said, a wee pretendy parliament 😂
I wish that was true!
They have caused untold damage.
No problem with the transportation of essential supplies in Fiona Hyslop's area as opposed to the good people of Arran who have suffered this incompetent bourach with her on top of the midden for far too long.
In Victorian times people knew how to build ships and docks with great efficency....what a shambles in modern times we now have.
SNP were not in existence then, but I take your very sound point.
Well it's only been 6 years since useless signed it off...give them time...😂😂
Give him a break, he was too busy bunging Hamas with our tax money to get his mother in law released .
The snp never wanted to rebuild ardrossan harbour they wanted the ferries to end up in troon as they are more loyal to troon than ardrossan i mean why build a ferry that cant use existing structures in the first place
This is why they have to go.Incompetent beyond belief.
Another fine example of how to talk throw in some big words and say hee haw.
It’s time the Scottish government realised this is not a game, they treat the people like fools.
Only 6 years late? That's good for this circus
Usual SNP incompetence. No wonder they got hammered on 4th July.
I smell no budget and plenty of BS
Clutching at straws.Scotland is knackered
The meaning of failure in any dictionary these days-- SNP
Why are the snp in existence, can't get a thing right, in any other form of business they would have been booted out for total incompetence years ago.
July 24 Report by the OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) ranked SNP Scottish Government as 'below OECD average' for budget transparency.
What the hell does "substantially complete" mean? Is it finished? No.
Possibly, it's started.
All the handouts have been paid and the black paint bought.
I don’t recall because the paperwork was REDACTED and we continue to tell lies.
Fiona Hyslop the perfect example of being completely out of your depth. Constantly!
They are beyond garbage
They can't bring the alternative fuel on board, the ferries won't fit the harbour, and it has always been the case that politicians in alliance with business interests are going to ensure the ferries will stop using Ardrossan altogether
More worn out waffle and word salad - same old, same old - nothing of substance.
More SNP mismanagement, don’t they realise continual word play is useless, stop kicking the can down the road the ferry ports and island communities deserve so much better, I hope they remember this when voting in 2026!
So it's robust.? No idea what she is talking about.
She has never been to the local area, call her out.
Yet another stooge placed in by Nicolla.
And still folk vote for them. 😱
Oh dear, what a bunch of untalented people.
The ferry is going to troon, wise up it's a stitch up for Ardrossan.
Glen Sannox is meant to be handed over on the 31 July 2024 to go into service
I think the useless SNP administration is worse than the Tories. The stress of leadership looks to be taking a "heavy" toll on Fiona😮
Compensatory pies, cakes, lunches and dinners on expenses paid for by Scotland's Joe Public. No ferries and no capable ferry ports. Excellent project management.
The SNP remain incompetent.
They started out incompetent.
@@johnf3885 A good measure of the progress made in 17 years. The SNP have had an obsession with *POWER not Independence* .
Even if they get the methane storage sorted out, can they refuel the ferries?
Will the ferries ever run on methane?
They could run on the methane coming out of SNP cakeholes 😂
Now that he SNP is ended one would expect a speedy end to this matter.
It’s not ended though, the Holyrood election is not until 2026, that’s when they must be voted out
They are in power for the next TWO YEARS. The elections the other week were for WESTMINSTER NOT HOLYROOD !
Where's iPad man? Is he on holiday again!
THANK GOD THERE GONE NEVER TO RISE AGAIN
Jaime green should be front bench
Don't worry the English will bail you out. !! We always do, the sooner you go the better,amalgamate into Westminster as you can't run yourselves!!! Fuming Sassanach
You have the right to fume. We are blazing with anger over SNP up north , that's why they got dumped at election. they are corrupt as hell.
Blah blah blah as usual, waste of time and our money
This proves what my father always said: GOVERNMENT CANNOT RUN ANYTHING!!
Listening to the latest SNP minister, you would think that we are still in 2016: the ferries have been very recently ordered and the project to upgrade the berths, for Glen Sannox, too big for existing facilities, is rushing full speed ahead in time for its delivery in 2018! Not a mention of years of bickering and infighting between all the parties about who is going to pay. Nothing about the delays in applying for planning nor that tendering still hasn’t happened, for a project said to take at least 21 months. And that’s with without mentioning £5 million, for a super expensive bunkering facility/ LNG tank. For just the £42m Ardrossan Harbour cost, in 2016 CMAL could’ve ordered 3 x MV Arthur type catamaran ferries for £14 million each - Instead they have already paid out more than £14 just to hire MV Alfred, whose owner must be laughing all the way to the bank. If the frrries are 6-7 years late, the Harbour can’t be ready until late 2026, even if a tender was signed tomorrow. Troon adds 45% time/fuel for the duration of the delay, with no practical/quick method of LNG fuelling.
What’s going to be completed first, the harbour or the ferries? Blah, blah, blah. Total crap. Embarrassing. 🇬🇧🇬🇧
We've got Labour (God help us all) and Scotland has the SNP.
Failure in her last post, years in the wilderness and back in another role. Just how bad do you have to be in this useless government?
The Arran ferry in the 50/60’s I’m sure sailed from Fairlie not Ardrossan
How do the SNP spell the word “Ferry” …… “Delay” ! 😡
Why are Snp still the Scottish government? Labour won most seats. Typical SNP unless.
DUH ! Because the elections last week were for *WESTMINSTER not HOLYROOD*
Why did these idiots build ferries that can’t use the usual harbour?
More drivel
Still talking tripe
Too many facials can cause your face to sink.
Not as big a fiasco as HS2 or the Ajax tank contract or the jubilee line.
Still comparing your wee jobby to another jobby and claiming yours is the prettiest...
They are not Scottish issues.
Is it not. Building ferries that don’t fit the ports. A five year old could point that out. Why don’t u take ur whataboutery n do one ya muppet
@@stunews2903 o yes they are when we have pay 8% of the costs.
HS2 was of benefit to Scotland inasmuch as under the Barnett funding, the Scottish Government receive proportional funding for rail projects - though whether the SNP actually used that additional money for a rail project is another question.
Time the Cab-Sec went on a diet - self-funded of course
