The launch party for this year’s 67th annual Miss Ireland contest was held last night in Bucks Townhouse in Dublin. Miss Ireland is very close to our hearts as our own SHEmazing! TV Presenter Niamh Geaney was Miss Kerry in the 2011 competition, making it to the final 7.

Lisa Kavanagh for SHEmazing! TV went along to check it out. She caught up with the reigning Miss Ireland Aoife Walsh, a former legendary Miss Ireland Olivia Tracey from 1984, and a couple of gorgeous contestants in the running for this year’s crown.

The Miss Ireland Grand Final will take place in Ballsbridge Hotel, Dublin on July 19th.
