Ruby Druce, believed to be Ireland’s oldest resident, marks her 109th birthday today. Born in 1915 in Co Donegal, she has experienced two world wars and two pandemics, attributing her longevity to walking, hard work, and a daily cod liver oil capsule. After a life of caring for family and working in a local factory, she now lives with her niece. Ruby fondly recalls surviving the Spanish flu at a young age and has been a source of inspiration for her community and family across generations.
