Audrey is in Benidorm
A group of 8 people are out in Benidorm for St Patrick's Day and a 50th birthday. They flew out last Thursday and are due to return tomorrow. The hotel they are staying in has told them they will be closing at 3pm today and they do not know what they will do between then and the flight. They tried to contact Ryanair by phone, email, messenger and online chat but no joy. They have tried the Irish Embassy in Spain but the number is shut off. They have seen that there are seats on a flight to Shannon tonight but the fare is €347 each and they can't afford that. Everyone in the group apart from the two that are retired is aware that they no longer have jobs to return to because of closures that have occurred in their absences.
