A postman helped a man deliver a shark to safety while on his rounds in Cork Harbour yesterday.

Here's what you need to know this lunchtime. 

Eddie English of Sailcork tells us whats on offer during the Summer months at their headquarters at East Ferry.

The maritime heritage of Cork was celebrated yesterday when two majestic yachts sailed into view, one a sleek silhouette of modern motor cruising, the other an ode to a bygone era when ships had masts and rigging and relied on wind for speed.

SHOULD it be every Cork resident’s right to get out on the abundant waters of the harbour, or the River Lee?

Kildare and Longford advanced to a Leinster final, while Donegal, Derry, Down and Cavan won through to the Ulster semi-finals in the Cadbury Under-21 Football Championship today.

EDDIE ENGLISH, who runs a sailing school in Cobh, has no doubt about it: People in Cork city and county have a “chip on their shoulder” when it comes to his home town.

PEOPLE visiting Cobh next year to take part in the 100th anniversary commemoration of the Titanic’s demise will get a sinking feeling when they view the pier which many of those who died on the ill-fated liner left from.

SUMMER sailing is over, but it’s a busy time for south coast sailors with Cove SC hosting the SCORA Championships and the RCYC hosting the ISA All Ireland championships this weekend while the weekend after that, the O’Flynn Exhams Autumn Regatta begin at Crosshaven.

TIDE movement on Cork harbour would mean that any potential chemical waste from the former Irish Steel plant is effectively swirled around the harbour.

MORE than 100 sailors will compete in the Irish Sailing Association National Team Racing Championships from the Royal Cork at Crosshaven over the St Patrick’s weekend.

The mood of the wind gods had changed for the penultimate day of Ford Cork Week when they decided to give the exhausted sailors a little more wind.
