LISTEN: Meet the Cork bus driver who became a viral hero after an act of kindness

A man being hailed as Cork's nicest bus driver has been identified, and he's completely bemused by the huge reaction to his small act of kindness towards an elderly lady.

William Harris, from the northside of Cork, was driving the 205 bus from CIT into Cork city centre on Wednesday when he stopped the bus to tie the shoe of an elderly woman.

The woman was in danger of tripping, having stumbled already alighting from his bus, but due to arthritis she was unable to bend down to tie her own lace.
