It's shocking. You're being left to try and get them to sleep on those metal chairs. It's just unacceptable in this day and age.
The stressed out dad added: "We are going away for a week, to Salou. The flight was scheduled for six AM. We came from Ballynahinch, so we all set off this morning at one o'clock, with two cars. It's just a shambles. The worst part of it is nobody seems able to give us proper information, it's a maybe this or a maybe that.
