Donegal Daily reported that Bernie recently celebrated her birthday, and celebrations included seeing Pitbull in Dublin and a family dinner the next day at Oasis.
As the family headed inside Letterkenny Shopping Centre, where Oasis is situated, they came across the Citroën 2CV, which ended production in 1990.
Unaware, that the iconic car was hers, Bernie went over to the white motor to get a photograph, with her daughter Niamhín capturing the moment she learned it was hers. @niamhin_h Dad surprising Mum with her dream car for their 40th (Ruby) wedding anniversary ❤️ Cuties 🥰🥹 . . . #irishtiktok #irishparents #wedding #weddinganniversary #weddinganniversarygift #surprise #fyp #car #vintage #vintagecar #vintagecars #citroen #citroen2cv #couplegoals #ireland #irelandtiktok #cute #letterkenny #donegal #roadtrip #irishroadtrip #parents #love #foryoupage ♬ The Winner Is… Version – DeVotchKa
