Hilarious TikTok video shows 96-year-old Irish granny stopping at nothing to go for a pint

An Irish woman has become an online sensation after a hilarious video showed her determined quest for a pint.

The 96-year-old appeared in a viral TikTok video which has received thousands of views.

The clip shows the elderly woman in a wheelchair as she is led through what appears to be Galway city.

A man wheeling the woman along the street has placed a large umbrella over here, meaning only her legs can be seen by passersby.

The umbrella was also aptly labelled "uber cool".

The video, posted by Declan Murphy on TikTok, was captioned: "Nothing will stop the quest for a pint at 96 years old #rain #ireland."

Theme music from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory accompanies the video, adding to the brilliant scenes.

More than 10,000 people have viewed the clip, while almost 1,400 have liked it.

Other TikTok users showed their appreciation for the post, with many comparing themselves to the pint-seeking granny.

One said: "As the umbrella states - uber cool."

A second wrote: "Priorities."

A third commented: "Good woman."

Several other TikTokers said they hope to have a similar zest for a pint in their later years.
