By Olivia KelleherTwo young brothers aged six and eight escaped with their lives over the weekend after a plucky man in Passage West, Co Cork jumped into the water from a quayside to save them. Mr Cullinane heard a noise from the quayside and looked out the window of his girlfriend's apartment where he quickly noticed that two boys were struggling in the water. I then swam out to the other boy who was tiny and was going under the water. "I then put him lying face down and he gasped and started to vomit up water. Martin said he was glad that he had learned to swim as a young pupil at North Monastery School in Cork.
