Lucky escape for revellers after car is submerged by tide

Five people had a lucky escape when a car in which they were partying became submerged on a beach in Co Cork.

Gardaí believe a woman in her 40s and four men in their 20s went to the beach near Youghal during the early hours of last Sunday and began drinking.

The woman parked her car on the sand near the Quality Hotel at Redbarn and, according to gardaí, reportedly forgot about the tide.
