The challenge was undertaken after the two brothers were rocked by their eldest brother's suicide.

Two midlands brothers have taken a dip in all 19 coastal counties in Ireland, in the name of charity.

Laois’ Feargal and Michael Bracken undertook the challenge after being rocked by their eldest brother’s suicide last January, and their father's death a few months later.

Their journey began in Salthill in Galway on December 1st, and came to an end at the Catholes in the Slieve Bloom Mountains in Laois, the only "completely land-locked" county in the country.

Along the way, they’ve raised almost €10,000 for Laura Lynn and Pieta House, despite setting a target of only €3,000

Feargal Bracken explains why they chose to finish up on Saturday:
