Chelsea Farrell from Louth was crowned Miss Ireland 2019 during the finale held September 14 at The Helix Theatre in Dublin.
The 19-year-old midwifery student from Ardee bested 32 other hopefuls for the title and the right to represent the country at the 2019 Miss World finals in December in London.
“It is amazing, and I really never expected to win – I didn’t set out to – as I take every day as it comes and was just myself, and I came out, and was crowned,” she was quoted by Drogheda Independent.
Miss Limerick North Christina Alcazar and Miss Clare Emma Austin placed first and second runners-up, respectively.
Ireland won Miss World in 2003 with Rosanna Davison. The country currently ranks 32th in Missosology Big 5 Ranking. Missosology.Org; Photos from Evoke, RSVP Live
