Gorgeous Jessica Hayes has been crowned Miss Ireland – and will now take over from Aoife Walsh.
Miss Buck Whaley’s won at a star-studded ceremony at The Ballsbridge Hotel in Dublin.
She just beat out Miss Dublin Central Shannon Howe and Miss Louth Fionnuala Short.
Now the 20-year-old will represent Ireland at Miss World in London, in December.
Handing over crown: last year’s winner Aoife Walsh
The Cork girl recently completed a year long business course at Cork College of Commerce and models with Assets Agency.
It was her second year in the event having been Miss Cork in 2013, but felt she was not prepared last year confidence wise.
Previous winners of Miss Ireland include Rosanna Davison and Andrea Roche.
> Goss.ie will have the first interview with the new Miss Ireland in the morning.
