The quest to find 77th Miss Ireland is underway and the Miss Ireland Organisation is searching for the next Miss Donegal – a dynamic ambassador who will represent the county at the much anticipated Miss Ireland final on June 14th.
Young women across Donegal are invited to step into the spotlight and embrace a journey of empowerment, leadership, and community impact to follow in the footsteps of our last Donegal Miss Ireland Lauren McDonagh who won the national contest in 2017 and is now a judge at the event.
Since 1947, the Miss Ireland pageant has celebrated intelligence, ambition, and cultural pride, evolving into a platform that champions female leadership and philanthropy. This year’s competitors will join a legacy of inspiring role models including Former Miss World Rosanna Davison, Pamela Flood, Holly Carpenter, current Miss Ireland Jasmine Gerhardt and many more. In recent years the Miss Ireland Franchise has raised over €350,000 for various charities including Laura Lynn, Temple Street, Alzheimer’s Ireland, Pieta House, The Cari Foundation and The Julian Benson Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
Each finalist will advance to the national event for a chance to claim the Miss Ireland crown at a spectacular final in the luxurious Knightsbrook Hotel and Resort in Trim Co Meath on June 14th. The 77th crowned Miss Ireland will receive a lucrative agency contract and a host of prizes and will then have a chance to jet off to represent Ireland next year on an international stage at the Miss World Festival which is televised in over 100 countries around the world. She will also enjoy a trip to Indonesia.
The search is now on to find contestants to begin their Miss Ireland journey which includes various events and appearances. The finalists of Miss Ireland are put through their paces in a challenging competitive process testing their skills in debating, public speaking, talent, sports, modelling, social media and each finalist will be tasked with raising much-needed awareness and funds for their chosen charities.
