TWO Tralee students will head to Dublin next week to take part in the Miss Ireland pageant.
Bláthín Griffin and Shannon Lonergan both took part in the Miss Kerry pageant back in March and finished first and second runner up respectively to the winner, Niamh Enright from Listowel.
Now all three are going to the Miss Ireland final next Friday at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Santry, after Shannon and Bláthín came through to the semi-finals as ‘wild card’ selections in late August.
