Ryanair to refund Irish tourist tax

Good news for travellers who have booked cheap flights or plan to do so with Ryanair. In line with the abolition of the €3 tourist tax, Ryanair confirmed last month that it will refund travellers who paid this charge on advance bookings.

Ryanair welcomes this initiative partly designed to encourage tourism in Ireland, which had been stunted by this damaging tax.

According to the Head of Communications at Ryanair, Stephen McNamara, customers who purchased a flight to travel to or from an Irish airport can apply for a refund as soon as the abolition comes into effect.
