Gran shares so much of my heart, says 10-year-old Emelia

PAULINE O’Regan was a bit of a media darling yesterday after being named as Grandparent of the Year at a ceremony in Dublin.

Pauline, from Wilton in Cork, was nominated by her 10 year-old granddaughter Emelia Deane from Maynooth, Co Kildare.

Emelia singled out how, despite the distance between them herself and her Granny, they have always been extremely close and she “shares so much of my heart”.
