Cork man honoured for heroic act which saved lives of two young boys

National Bravery Award recipient, Martin Cullinane, says saving two young brothers from drowning last April changed his life for the better.

The Cork man did not hesitate when he saw the boys, aged five and six, struggling to keep their heads above water: “I can swim but when you see two young fellows drowning you do your best to get to them. I could have beaten the American Olympian swimmer, Michael Phelps, on the day.”
