Louise Pedreschi said everyone involved is ‘worried as it’s not just a holiday it’s a huge family event with many travelling from all over the world’

Customers who had been looking forward to trips away for months have been speaking of their growing disappointment. Photograph: Alan Betsoncustomers who had been looking forward to trips away for months – and sometimes years – have been speaking of their growing disappointment and anger at potentially missing out on weddings, once-in-a-lifetime holidays and the chance to represent Ireland at international sporting events.

“I really don’t want to compare professions in any way but it’s really hard to have sympathy when hubris and greed are, in my opinion, the driving factors. Some of our family will be impacted and may miss this once-in-a-lifetime event. It’s so disappointing and unnerving as we wait to see how this pans out .”

“We have over €3,000 of accommodation booked over the following three weeks as the athletes train, travel between venues and compete. Disruption to our outward travel would be absolutely disastrous for our competitors preparation never mind the costs that are at risk. We are all beside ourselves with worry as to what the next 11 days are going to bring instead of focusing on the athletes preparation and training. It’s a disaster.
