Like so many modern love stories, West Cork couple Kate O’Neill and Barry O’Driscoll’s started on Tinder in 2018.

But Kate, from Rosscarbery, and Barry, from Drinagh, says it took another wedding for their first “official meeting” to unfold, in August the following year. “Barry was looking for breakfast the morning after his friend’s wedding at O’Donovan’s Hotel in Clonakilty when he saw me — I was working part-time at the hotel at the time,” says Kate.
