Caolan McAleer opened the scoring for the home side inside two minutes before Conor McCarthy brought Cork back on level terms on the 15 minute mark.
Mark Coyle nudged Ollie Horgan’s side back in front before Gearóid Morrissey scored the first of his two goals with this wonderful dipping effort.
His second, a 25-yard strike, coupled with Graham Cummins finish on 70 minutes put daylight between themselves and Harps.
Raf Cretaro’s goal nine minutes from time couldn’t muster a comeback for the Donegal side, leaving them just a point above the relegation zone.
