Carlingford woman Jenny Hanlon was named the new Louth Rose at a selection night in the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Dundalk last night.
The 19-year-old was the last of 14 contestants to take the stage but proved the most popular in succeeding last year’s winner, Ciara Soraghan.
Jenny was representing the Maria Goretti Foundation in Lordship and will now go through to the regional finals in Portlaoise, hoping to earn a place at the Rose of Tralee International Festival weekend at the end of summer.
