Co Cork postman delivers shark to safety

A postman helped a man deliver a shark to safety while on his rounds in Cork Harbour yesterday.

Cobh postie Fergus O’Regan was working in the Belvelly area on the northern side of Great Island, about 6.5km from Cobh, around lunchtime when local resident John Guihan asked him for help.

Mr Guihan had spotted a 2.5m long blue shark, which would normally be found up to 12km offshore, in distress on the shoreline opposite his home.
