Two directors of a Co Clare ferry company were freed today after spending a night in Limerick Prison for contempt.

Bill and Kevin O'Brien of Doolin Ferries were jailed last night after a judge found them in breach of a court order agreed with a rival ferry company, Aran Islands Fast Ferries (AFFI).

The two re-appeared before Judge Carroll Moran at Ennis Circuit Court today and undertook not to go near the pier at Doolin for the remainder of the season.
