A remarkable 104-year-old woman who has just beaten Covid-19 has been hailed an inspiration after adding her first digital footprint to the world she’s walked in for over a century.
Mary McGrath, who was born on the day of the 1916 Easter Rising, and who has lived through the Spanish flu pandemic and two World Wars, enjoyed her first Zoom call at Bishopscourt Nursing Home in Cork on Friday, thanks to a new Acorn tablet presented to her by friends during a window visit.
