Irish duo start trip to highlight how EU works

Two Irish bloggers are taking off on a trip around Europe today in a bid to show young people how the EU really works.

Colm Keane from Co Kildare and Martin Gaughan from Co Mayo begin their 20-day journey around 16 EU countries later - kicking off in Helsinki.

They will keep an online diary of their travels and will be set a number of challenges along the way.
