Special delivery for Cork's gold medal winning Olympians

"We have never done something as special as this before"

The post bozes outside Skibbereen post office painted gold in honour of Paul O'Donovan and Fintan McCarthy

When Olympic gold medal-winning rowers Paul O’Donovan and Fintan McCarthy arrive back into Skibbereen they could be forgiven for thinking someone has been up to a bit of graffiti with their names while they have been away.

However, on closer inspection they will find that their names have been permanently etched onto the side of post boxes in the town - and those post boxes have been painted gold in their honour.
