Daniel O'Donnell has paid a visit to Ireland to the oldest person in Ireland.

The Donegal singer-songwriter popped in to see Nell Hynes from Coolderry in Co Offaly, who turned 109 in December.

Eileen was born on December 15, 1916, in Cullenwaine, near Moneygall and at her birthday party before Christmas, she was joined by her 10 children, with the oldest being 85 and the youngest 65.

"I dropped by to see Nell Hynes Co Offaly," Daniel posted. "Such a pleasure to meet her."

When Nell turned 100 back in 2016 she received the Centenary Bounty, a gift and signed letter from the President of Ireland, and has received a commemorative coin from the President every year since.
