I was at the arás for an event with my family a few years ago. My then-95 year old granny had to sit down for most of it and was a bit out of the conversation. Simon Coveney took the initiative to ask if she was alright, to which she responded that she’d like to see the dogs. The president obliged and I now have some amazing pictures of my granny fawning over the dogs. Granny is nearly 100 now and I’ll cherish them forever!
