Two Canadian girls whose decision to throw a message in a bottle into the Atlantic ocean are set to arrive in this country later today.

Schoolboy Oisin Millea is bringing his family on holidays to Canada, and he’s taking his message in a bottle with him.

Oisin Millea, the boy who found a message in a bottle yesterday contacted the women who launched it into the sea eight years ago — and he may meet them in person next year after Tourism Ireland offered to fly them to Ireland for The Gathering.
