There was a special day for one of Dunabbey House’s residents this week, as Paddy Mooney celebrated his 100th birthday.
Paddy, a native of Dunabrattin, Annestown, Co. Waterford and an RAF veteran of World War 2, had the occasion marked for him in a day of socially distanced festivities at the residential nursing unit in Dungarvan.
The highlights of the day were an honorary flypast by the Coastguard helicopter based at Waterford Airport and a visit from Airline Captain David Moen to present Paddy with his letter of congratulations and bounty cheque from the President of Ireland Michael D. Higgins.
