Cork lawnmower man ready for world record attempt take-off

Óisín Creagh, from the St Luke’s area of the city, expects to start his 3,000km trip next Wednesday on a craft powered by little more than a lawnmower engine.
Yesterday, he concluded his preparation for the upcoming expedition when he undertook a day of safety and rescue training, including a series of simulated crash landings on water, at the National Maritime College of Ireland at Ringnaskiddy, Co Cork.
