Directive EU (2015/2302) on package travel and linked travel arrangements is due to be applicable in Irish law with effect from 1 July 2018. Officials in my Department have drafted a Statutory Instrument to give effect to the provisions of the Directive by amending existing legislation, primarily the Package Holidays and Travel Trade Act, 1995. This SI is currently being examined by the Office of the Parliamentary Counsel and will be signed into law once settled by that Office.
