A number of people were involved in a ‘stand-off” with the operators of the Lough Swilly Ferry service yesterday.
The people, who were swimming at Buncrana Pier, too exception to the Foyle Rambler ferry docking at the pier.
Some of the group then boarded the boat and climbed to the top and began diving off the boat.
Eye-witnesses said the Captain asked them to get off the ferry, but they refused.
On a number of occasions he tried to get the men from climbing up on top of the ferry to dive off the boat.
Staff on the boat eventually made a phonecall and the men eventually dispersed.
The men, who had been drinking cans of alcohol, began shouting at the captain of the ferry.
The ferry finally pulled out at 4.40pm.
