And the new Kerry Rose is…Danielle O’Sullivan from Killarney!
Danielle was shocked when host Daithi O Se called out her name on stage at the Kerry Rose selection 2016 at the Ballyroe Heights Hotel just after midnight.
Danielle is currently studying for her masters in human rights law in the University of Limerick, and plans on qualifying as a solicitor when she finishes.
Here’s the moment she was announced as the winner…
She played gaelic football with Killarney Legion for a number of years, and is also a keen martial artist with a black belt in Tae Kwon Do and has represented her county and country successfully both nationally and internationally.
The 23 year old from Killarney is passionate about mental health campaigning and is currently the project leader for mental health as part of the US Embassy’s Youth Council.
She’s a busy year ahead of her and we wish her the best of luck in August.
