Nottingham Rose Selection Night


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!
