Celebrating a centenarian

Lally Lawlor celebrated her 100th birthday yesterday. Mrs Lawlor was born on March 28, 1915. She spent her early years in Co Wicklow and is a past pupil of the Dominican School in  Wicklow.

Lally has been living in the Kingdom since her marriage to a Kerry man.

I have had the great privilege of knowing Mrs Lawlor for close to 20 years. A remarkable woman.

The birthday was marked with a party at Ocean View Nursing Home in Camp, Co. Kerry.
