Irish holiday flights to Tunisia cancelled

Holidaymakers due to fly to Tunisia tomorrow have been told they must make alternative plans after a travel company pulled its scheduled weekly flight.

Sunway says it is also suspending all subsequent weekly flights to the holiday destination due to the continued uncertainty in the region since the terror attack that killed 38 tourists last Friday.

The late decision was announced as final preparations were made for the return of the remains of the three Irish people who died.
