Tralee grannies taking a wrecking ball to perceptions of mature ladies

Four retired Tralee grandmothers are attempting to take “a wrecking ball” to perceptions of older women.

Celine Slattery, Phil Daly, Mary O’Donnell, and Marian Dillon lip sync to the Miley Cyrus hit ‘Wrecking Ball’, where they partially — albeit fully clad — reenacted the sledgehammer scene using Celine’s house and garden in Oakpark, Tralee.

They collaborated with a new media start-up and their effort has gone viral, with texts coming in from grandchildren in Dubai to Dublin — and it has been picked up in online news too in Ghana.
