Two children rescued from River Lee
A woman in her forties has died and two boys aged 12 and 10 have been rescued, after their car went into the River Lee in Cork City last night.
Passers-by raised the alarm shortly before 9pm at Kennedy Quay and Gardai, Ambulance and the Fire service rushed to the scene.
