The Irish Travel Agents Association (ITAA) has issued advice to Irish holidaymakers in advance of the extreme weather conditions due to hit Ireland this week.

Cormac Meehan, President of the ITAA said, “Irish holidaymakers that are planning to travel over the next few days are naturally very concerned. We are not sure what the results of this storm will be yet but the Irish travel trade is working together to monitor the situation on a daily basis and to support holidaymakers if their plans need to be changed.”

“Our advice to Irish holidaymakers travelling in the coming days is to keep in close contact with their travel provider or airline to establish if their holiday itineraries or flights are affected. They should also monitor news and weather reports and follow the advice of their local authority before travelling to airports.”

ITAA members cover over 140 outlets in different towns and cities throughout the Republic of Ireland.
