Comedy act, Foil Arms and Hog, recently released a video which suggested that when it comes to planning a holiday, us Irish folk have a seriously hard time making a decision.

And, if a recent survey from 123.ie is anything to go by, the lads weren't far off the mark at all.

According to findings, the biggest issues affecting Irish holiday-makers is the importance of risk assessment, the threat of terror,  the fear of missing a flight or losing our luggage and the idea we'd be denied a cup of tea upon arrival. (No, seriously)

With the shocking implications of terrorism never far from the headlines, it's no surprise that 80% of holiday-makers from Ireland will avoid travelling to a region they believe may be vulnerable to terrorist attack.

Of the 771 individuals surveyed, 94% cited France as the country most at risk from terrorism, with Turkey and Tunisia also ranked highly at 91% and 87% respectively.

Head of Marketing with 123.ie, Padraig O’Neill, commented on the results, saying: "People’s views are obviously influenced by recent attacks in Turkey and last year’s attacks in Paris and Sousse and this has been reflected in their responses, which is totally understandable."

Further to this, the survey indicates that the Irish public take health risks into account when planning a vacation, with India and Brazil heading up the list as countries which pose the greatest danger.

"We anticipated that Brazil might feature on the list given the recent outbreak of the  Zika Virus and the ensuing publicity surrounding golfers including Rory McIlroy, Shane Lowry and their decision not to take part in the Rio Olympics," Padraig explained. 

"Despite the fact that pregnant women is the group most at risk from the Zika Virus, the  global publicity may have contributed to heightened concerns that has been borne out in the research."

And while we may relish the devil-may-care attitude attributed to us by the wider world, us Irish are actually a conscientious bunch, with four out of five respondents buying travel insurance in case of medical emergencies.

Remarking on the result, Padraig asserted: "We know that people place a high value on their travel insurance.  It offers great peace of mind and it’s one of those things that you can purchase and not think about again as you never need it, until you need it."

And after factoring in terrorism and travel insurance, us Irish turn our attention to a possible tea shortage while living it up abroad.

So great is the concern, a staggering 57% of holiday-makers from Ireland actually take their preferred brand of tea with them on a foreign trip.

And a further 14% insist that the first thing they do after landing is seek out a cup of the hot stuff.

Yeah, that sounds about right.
