€9,000 'dream' honeymoon lasted only three days, couple tells court

An Irish honeymoon couple, who landed in a romantic Maldives Islands resort in the middle of the monsoon season, flew home after only three days of their fortnight-long “dream” holiday, a court has heard.

James and Rachel Burke, both in their early thirties, of Courtney Place, Ballybough, Dublin, told the Circuit Civil Court they had paid almost €9,000 for an all-in holiday at the honeymoon paradise resort of Kuramathi Island.
