Monaghan Rose Michelle Caulfield is Tralee bound later this summer as she was selected to go through to the International Festival last weekend.
Michelle, who hails from Scotstown, is the second Rose in two years who will fly the flag for the county during the festival as Clontibret girl Eleanor McQuaid was part of the 2013 event.
Speaking to The Northern Standard a delighted Michelle, who was one of 23 Roses selected for Tralee at the Regional Finals in Portlaoise over the June bank holiday weekend, told of her shock when her name was announced.
“I felt extremely shocked. It took a couple of seconds to sink in, one of the girls sitting beside me actually had to give me a little nudge and say ‘that’s you!!’ I couldn’t believe it, the calibre of women in Portlaoise is unbelievable and I am so honoured to be selected to represent Monaghan in the Dome.”
