Miss Ireland 2022
The Miss Ireland 2022 contest took place at the Diamond Jubilee Ceremony at The Royal Theatre Castlebar, on August 20th. Ivanna McMahon, a doctor from Munster representing her home county of Clare, ended the night being crowned the new Miss Ireland.
The event had the theme ‘Our World Our Future’ with a focus on the environment and global citizenship.
The contestants have had a challenging few months ahead of the final, with public speaking events, modelling opportunities, social media, debating and more.
The 27-year-old winner wowed the crowds by playing the harp on stage.
Ivanna studied medicine in University College Cork and graduated in 2020. She worked in the GP scheme in Tralee General Hospital during the Covid-19 pandemic.
In recent years the Miss Ireland Franchise has raised over €351,220 for various charities including Laura Lynn and Temple Street. This year, they partnered with Variety Ireland, which is an Irish charity that has helped sick and disadvantaged children since 1951.
Ivanna succeeds Pamela Uba, who last year became the first black woman to conquer the Miss Ireland title. Pamela was a quarter-finalist (Top 40) in the 70th Miss World contest.
Miss Ireland 2022 will compete in the 71st Miss World, with venue and dates still unknown.
Congratulations!!
