People walking along the banks of the River Lee's North channel in Cork City today may have happened across an unusual tourist, with a dolphin being spotted in the river.

The aquatic visitor was spotted by a number of people this morning, including Darren Martyn, who managed to get a video of the aquatic mammal at Popes Quay, shortly before 11 this morning.
