Birthday for a woman born before the 1916 Rising

On Easter Monday Mrs Lally Lawlor celebrated her 101st birthday.

To honour the event her extended family celebrated with her at Ocean View Nursing Home in Camp, West Kerry.

The woman is hale and hearty. But she is a lot more than that. Her smile is infectious. A woman of great grace. She reads the newspaper without glasses and knits.

Lally received her second birthday medal and letter from the President of Ireland.

A woman, who was a year-old baby in Wicklow, when the men of the Rising were executed in Kilmainham Gaol. 

Congrats Lally and a privilege to know you.

Presidential letter and medal.
