Free rail travel around Europe chance for youth – Markey

The chance to travel around Europe by rail for free opens today for 18 year old residents of Ireland and other EU countries. Under the Discover EU initiative, up to thirty five thousand (35,000) travel passes will be given to successful applicants from the EU and other qualifying countries.

To win a travel pass, young people are invited to apply on the European Youth Portal (Youth.europa.eu/discovereu_en) and answer a few questions. Successful applicants who were born between 1 July 2004 and 30 June 2005 will be able to travel in Europe for up to 30 days during the travel period. That will run from mid-June to the end of September 2024.

Fine Gael MEP Colm Markey is encouraging 18 year olds in Ireland to apply for a free travel pass.
