Four farmers have been stranded on an island off the southwest coast for the past three weeks.
The men, who have homes and families on the mainland, have been trapped on Dursey Island since March 31. This is when the famous cable car that links them to the mainland - the only one of its kind in Europe - was temporarily shut by Cork County Council.
