Leaving young family for commute to Brussels “biggest challenge” – Markey

Colm Markey officially became an MEP last Friday. He’s replacing Mairead McGuinness who’s Ireland’s new EU Commissioner.

Mr Markey says one of the biggest challenges he’ll face will be leaving his young family behind him when he jets off to Brussels once travel restrictions ease up.
