VIDEO: Cork lifeboat crew praised for saving stranded dolphin

A lifeboat crew has been praised for their heroic efforts in saving a stranded dolphin from almost certain death.

Wildlife photographer, Norma Gleeson, said the Ballycotton lifeboat crew in East Cork deserve huge credit for guiding the distressed mammal back to sea.

Lifeboat coxswain Eolan Walshe said he believes it is the first time a dolphin has come that far into Ballycotton Bay.
