Should holiday prices be regulated all-year?

Parents in the UK can be fined £80 per day per child for school absences. Despite this, many parents are still choosing to take their children out of school to save on exorbitant travel prices during school holidays. There have been calls to review marketing and pricing of ‘rip-off’ family holidays from companies which charge thousands more for holidays taken during school breaks. What do you think? To discuss, Andrea is joined by Lisa O'Sullivan Shaw, @modernirishmom, Rachel Harper, Principal of St Patrick's National School in Greystones, Yvonne Reddin, Freelance Travel Journalist, Steve Cummins, Comedian and Co-Founder of Zoomparty.ie and more.
