As the Deputy may be aware, the Commission for Aviation Regulation (CAR) is the body with statutory responsibility for operating the insolvency protection scheme relating to licensed travel agents and tour operators in Ireland.
Accordingly, the issues raised by the Deputy are operational matters for the Commission and I have forwarded your request to the CAR for a direct response. If a response is not received within 10 days, please contact my private office.
