Search for Miss Ireland...

The official launch party of Miss Ireland 2010, in association with Boyle Sports, took place at Bucks New Townhouse and there was a who’s who of Ireland’s fashion scene in attendance.

This is a very special year for Miss Ireland as 2010 marks the 60th year of the Miss World Pageant and competition has already stepped up a notch in Ireland with the highest ever number of entries and a formidable standard.

Miss Ireland will be crowned this weekend at a sparkling black-tie ceremony at the D4 Berkeley Court Hotel hosted by TV3’s Sinead Desmond and current Mr. World Kamal Ibraham. This ceremony is anticipated to be one of the most impressive events of the year with a star studded guest list and judging panel.

Miss Ireland 2010 will then go to China in October to represent her country in the Miss World Pageant and join the ranks of that special Miss Ireland club. Let’s hope she does more than the incumbent Miss, Laura Patterson, who must surely be the shyest beauty queen in history.
