Cork dairy farmer Denis Dilworth on his 101st birthday with calves brought by local Cllr Alan Coleman.
Cork dairy farmer Denis Dilworth celebrated his 101st birthday in style last weekend in Cramer’s Court nursing home.
Denis was born on 25 February 1920, just after the Spanish flu had killed more than 20,000 people in Ireland. He spent much of his life dairy farming in Vicarstown, Donoughmore, Co Cork.
The staff at the nursing home, where he has been resident for just about a year, wanted to make his day extra special.
Teresa O’Donovan, activities coordinator at Cramer’s Court nursing home, said: “The first thing we did was send out a call out to his parish of Donoughmore. I wanted video footage of people wishing him well.”

Tips for rural house buyers
“The first thing people need to do is to sort out their funding. There is no point in people wanting to look at properties and book viewings if they haven’t got mortgage approval and proof of funds.
“Another important thing you need to do is to decide on the location.
“You can buy a house that may not 100% suit you, but you can change it over time - what you can’t do is change the location of a property.”
