From having to observe the atrocities carried out by Nazi Germany during the Second World War to her dealings with Kitty Kiernan, it has been a busy century for Doreen Keane.

She has been celebrated for reaching treble figures in Dungarvan Community Hospital, with a letter from President Michael D Higgins congratulating her for playing an "important part in shaping and crafting the world" we live in today.
