‘Budget took our money willingly’

LEAVING Cert student Gillian Griffin paid a €100 deposit for her summer holiday at 2pm at Budget Travel yesterday.

The travel agent took her money and told her she’d be in touch. At 2.30pm news broke that the business had gone into liquidation and the shop doors on Oliver Plunkett Street in Cork were shut for good.

Gillian was planning to travel with 95 other Mount Mercy students to Ayia Napa in August after the Leaving Cert.
