Libby Marah and Ryan Hourihan joined the choir on the bridge. Volunteers from Cork City Missing Persons Search and Recovery made the journey upriver in darkness. Volunteers from Cork City Missing Persons Search and Recovery travelled in two rigid inflatable boats, with support from a Port of Cork rib, from the Port of Cork City pontoon to St Vincent's Bridge near the Mercy University Hospital, via the north channel of the River Lee. Their giant teddy bears made the journey as they lit up the undersides of the city's bridges. The volunteers made their dusk journey to raise awareness of the work they do, and as an exercise in suicide prevention. On St Vincent's Bridge, they were greeted by the High Hopes Choir, who gave an open-air performance from the bridge, as well as by volunteers from Penny Dinners and Shine A Light. Pic: Larry Cummins.
