Holidaymakers face wait to reclaim money after lowcostholidays goes into administration

Irish holiday-goers who booked trips away through lowcostholidays will this week find out how to reclaim their money after the company went into administration.

The budget tour operator has warned customers currently abroad on their holiday that they may be required to pay their hotel costs, even if accommodation fees were included in the price paid to the Lowcostholidays.

UK administrators Smith & Williamson has said that 27,000 customers currently in resorts and 110,000 who booked holidays through Lowcostholidays are affected.
