A man who had a spontaneous, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to swim with dolphins in Co Cork says the experience was amazing.

Harry Casey swims at Myrtleville every day and is normally joined by other swimmers or, on occasion, a seal. However, on Tuesday he was joined by something completely different.
