Tech-savvy granny ‘uses internet every day for everything’

A tech-savvy granny who discovered the fun side of the internet when she retired is the country’s top silver surfer.

Trudy Nealon, aged 70, from Portlaoise, is the treasurer of Portlaoise Active Retirement Association and uses the internet every day.

Members of the association nominated her for the title because they have benefited from her computer skills. Trudy used her IT skills to put together presentations of proposed holidays for the group to choose from and also produced CD-ROM collections of holiday photos for members to keep.
