“I feel absolutely amazing. This is like a dream come true for me. I remember the first time that I saw Miss Universe and seeing previous winners.
I’m very proud to be wearing this sash and crown, it’s very exciting.
This has been months and months in the making and I’ve been working on it for a very long time, so it’s absolutely fabulous to see how everything turned out.”

The beauty of a woman lies in her power to dream up and manifest the life she wants. It takes courage to take the first step and continue to take steps each day to make dreams of the future a reality.
There was never any doubt.
The big favourite has done it at nationals. Ireland has just crowned it's first ever black/bi-racial Queen - at any pageant.
She will now fight for a third straight placement at Miss Universe.
