The volunteers of Crosshaven RNLI in Cork Harbour were tasked by Valentia Coast Guard to a report of three persons cut off by the tide between Church Bay and Fennels Bays at 6.20pm this evening.
The Atlantic 85 lifeboat ‘John & Janet’ made best speed to the location along with Crosshaven Coast Guard.
The lifeboat was unable to get close inshore to the casualties and Crewman Derek Moynan swam in to check on the condition of the three males. Rescue Helicopter 117 from Waterford was requested and arrived overhead shortly afterwards.

That was some interval. Cork theatres are to reopen
After 15 months, theatres in Cork are finally planning to reopen for small audiences. It’s good to be back, says JO KERRIGAN, as she resumes the Theatre Nights column she has written in the Echo for more than 20 years
Sophie Motley, Artistic Director at Everyman.

WELL, it’s been a long 15 months, hasn’t it?
Temples of drama shuttered and silent; actors, directors, stage managers, set designers, and costumiers wondering where their lives had gone. And audiences bereft of their beloved live performances.
Then the announcement last Friday by the Taoiseach that theatres would reopen on June 7. It took everyone by surprise. No advance warning to those most involved?
