The Labour Court recommended a 5% pay increase for five crew members of Comharchumann Oileann Arainn Mhor Teo, backdated to 1 March 1986 for 15 months. The recommendation was signed on 26 March 1987. The Irish Transport and General Workers' Union also sought more staff for holiday cover, saying crew members forfeited rest days and could face fatigue. The co-op said it was in debt and could not meet the claims without more funding. The Court recommended discussions on holiday arrangements and urged the bodies involved in running the ferry service to make funds available to regularise its position.
