The torrential rain that hit Ireland during the summer has prompted many to plan their summer holidays earlier than usual.

According to Budget Travel, 2007's downpours caused such demand for last-minute breaks that there was not enough room to cater for everybody.

Therefore, many Irish consumers are now apparently trying to beat the rush in order to avoid missing out on seeing the sun this summer.

Head of marketing at Budget Travel Clem Walshe said that Portugal was proving to be an especially popular destination, particularly the Algarve region.

Speaking to the Irish Independent, he commented: "People definitely got caught out last summer.

"We have already seen clear evidence of people saying 'I'm not going to get caught out again'."

This comes after Irish holiday firm Limerick Travel reported an increase in the number of people heading abroad for Christmas.

Company director Tony Brazil told the Limerick Post that many of these were second home owners with properties in destinations that offered sunshine during the winter months.
