"The world’s most beautiful office” is how Dursey Island’s cable car operator Paul O’Sullivan describes his dream job of ferrying tourists and the island's handful of residents across the Dursey Sound, part of West Cork's stunning Beara Peninsula.
One can’t help but bask in the radiance of the island’s picturesque skyline and it’s a sight that has delighted Paul since his first shift aboard the tourist attraction in 2004.
