Gardaí Chris Irwin and Fiona Jones and a local van driver brought a male dolphin who became stranded in Belvelly outside of Cobh, Co Cork, out to water until volunteers arrived to refloat it this morning.
A vet called Cian from the Irish Whale and Dolphin Group took the dolphin’s vitals, and made the decision to move it to a beach to be refloated. The Dolphin was named “Dolly” by a local child who was delighted to see the rescue take place.
“After rocking Dolly for a while to help kick-start his circulation, he showed an eagerness to swim and was released to the water,” the Cleancoast Cobh group said today.
Volunteers, the van driver and a garda were waist deep in water with the Dolphin, as it was “all hands on deck”.
