Poll: Have you planned a summer holiday?

Make us jealous.

THE WEATHER HAS picked up in the last few days, we’re heading into another Bank Holiday weekend and schools break up shortly. It’s officially summertime.

But worries about austerity measures, jobs and the new property tax have stopped some people from planning a getaway over the coming months.

What about you? Have you planned a summer holiday?


Poll Results:

Yes, I'm holidaying in Ireland (1881)
Yes, I'm going abroad (960)
No, a staycation for me (930)
