Wow, what a night! Excellent organisation by Martin Dowd, Nicola
Lynch and Niamh Mc Tague provided an entertaining and interesting night for
all. There were eight of us taking part: Myself, Mag Hilliard, Clionadh
O’Connor, Bernadette Grandfield, Vicky Henry, Katrina Crosby, Claire Donaghy
and Laura Seaton. The interviews on stage flowed really well and seemed to
catch the audience’s attention and there were three of us who did talent
sections, Clionadh on the Fiddle and me and Mag Irish dancing.
It took the Judges over an hour and a half to decide but
whilst they did there was a fabulous performance by ‘The full Shebang’ and
after music and a disco by Ged Dowling. I couldn’t believe it when I heard I
had won as all the other girls had provided brilliant interviews and were so
lovely. I would like to thank the Judges: Mary Murphy, Paul Curtis and the Irish
Post editor Siobhan Breatnach for choosing me as the Nottingham Rose, as well
as the organisers and MG Renewables for Sponsoring me. I wish to also thank my
family for the amazing support they showed for me on the night, as without them
it would not have been possible. I am delighted to have been given the honour
of being the Nottingham Rose and I hope I make Nottingham Proud throughout the
year, especially during my time in Portlaoise!
