Vol. 315 No. 1

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Continental Tour Surcharges.

31.

asked the Minister for Industry, Commerce and Energy if it is permissible for tour operators to surcharge holidaymakers for continental tours negotiated at sterling prices due to the present value of the Irish Punt.

I understand that it is the practice for tour operators to include a clause in their booking conditions providing for a surcharge related to currency fluctuations. However, it is a matter for the parties directly concerned rather than for my Department to consider whether any surcharge is properly made in accordance with any agreement existing between them.
