Travel chaos as Slattery’s ceases trading

ONE of the country’s leading travel agents has ceased trading, throwing hundreds of people’s travel arrangements into chaos and putting yet more travel agents on the dole queue.

Kerry-based Slattery’s Travel and Stein Travel as well as a number of subsidiaries stopped trading on Tuesday.

Yesterday Slattery’s Travel put a message on its website on which it said: “Slattery’s Travel regrets to announce that it has ceased trading with effect from September 15. As a licensed and bonded tour operator, any monies paid to Slattery’s Travel are secure and will be reimbursed via the Commission for Aviation Regulation.
