Driving tourists crazy

HEAR, HEAR to the article about high prices of fuel and goods in Ireland.

Already we Australian travel agents are getting negative feedback from our clients visiting Ireland on self-drive packages. There are two destinations we’re getting comments on: a South Pacific country and Ireland.

Of course, Aussies are great hirers of rental cars and they blame us travel agents for not telling them. It will certainly have a knock-on effect which will take a couple of seasons to counter as a destination known for being expensive.
