VIDEO: Officials pull out all the stops to salute recruits

Officials pull out all the stops for more than 30 sick children from Mercy University Hospital.

President Obama probably wouldn’t have got a bigger cavalcade through Cork, but then those travelling in a fleet of Garda vans accompanied by outriders, flashing lights, and sirens were also VIPs.

More than 30 sick children from Mercy University Hospital were given the full treatment by the gardaí, fire brigade, army, Port of Cork, and McDonalds.
