Cork river rescue hero was ‘pumped with adrenaline’

A man who pulled two young boys from a Cork river on Saturday afternoon said adrenaline spurred his actions as he dived into the currents to save them.

Martin Cullinane was in his girlfriend’s apartment in Passage West when he realised that the two boys, understood to be brothers aged around six and seven, had got into difficulty.

“My girlfriend’s apartment is on the first floor so her balcony overlooks the water,” Mr Cullinane told Neil Prendeville on Red FM.
