Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Merchant Service Providers in the Travel Trade in Ireland: Discussion
Ms Cathy Mannion:
We looked into this some years ago. We find that we are drawing more on the Travellers' Protection Fund over time. This is perhaps because the way the market operates compared to the 1980s has changed with the advent of the Internet and how people book things. It is something we looked into in the past and we will probably be looking into again with the Department in time.
