Kitty Cotter from Bandon has graced our news feeds over the last few days after her granddaughter Ca O'Donoghue posted this video to Facebook. Screen Shot 2015-05-23 at 10.33.43 The former schoolteacher has been lauded for her progressive view on the marriage equality vote, despite her age and the fact that she is a catholic. She says "I am 101 years old. I believe in the equal rights for all our citizens. Therefore, I will be voting ‘yes’ in the coming referendum." And just look at what she wore to her local polling station – a beautiful rainbow-coloured get-up in support for gay marriage. Go granny Cotter. How cool is she.
