Budget Travel clients to get refund offers

REFUNDS will be offered to all Budget Travel customers despite Ireland’s largest tour operator going out of business with the loss of 172 jobs.

The country’s remaining 17 Budget Travel stores shut their doors after the company announced it had gone into liquidation.

Budget chiefs met with the Aviation Regulator last night to hammer out a plan to get home the 747 people abroad. Another 409 customers were planning to jet off over the coming days.
