SNNEI, I have just read your posting of 18 May. The fact that JetGreen were a tour operator may well explain things. I do not know what the irish rules for licesing tour operators and I am a bit rusty of EU rules concerning consumer protection for tour pax. They are very tough in Britain and repatriation is always achieved when a licensed tour operator fails.

What I find to be very odd about it all is that the company failed at the beginning of the summer season . That is actually a very rare occurence because at that time of the year a tour company will have strong cash because of the payment of deposits. The autumn is normally the time that tour companies fail because that is when they have to pay their final bills for the summer to hotels.

So what was going on? Where did those deposits go?
