Cllr Richard Daly of Fine Gael congratulated Athy born Charmaine Kenny on winning this year’s Rose of Tralee competition.
“Athy is very fortunate to have one of it’s own taking the position of Rose of Tralee for the coming year. Charmaine who is the daughter of Leon and Marian wooed audience and viewers with her academic and energetic pursuits and was a great ambassador for the town. Although she was nominated as the London Rose, Athy is very proud to claim her as their own.
The Rose of Tralee competition is very significant in connecting the Irish diaspora and has a substantial tourism importance. A further link with the county is the fact that the main sponsor of the competition is the county’s Newbridge Silverware.
My congratulations go to Charmaine and her family and I hope she has a most pleasant and exciting year representing Ireland internationally, a feat which she will take in her stride.”
