Rose of Tralee 2024 - Waterford

Abby Walsh
Abby Walsh

Dia dhuit, Abby Walsh is ainm dom. I am 22 years old and thrilled to be representing the oldest city in Ireland - Waterford.

I am blessed to be working in my dream job, múinteoir bunscoile, in a Gaelscoil (primary school teacher in an Irish speaking school). I have an enormous grá for the Irish language, music, and culture.

If I am not travelling the four corners of Ireland for dancing competitions, I enjoy catching up with friends, and visiting our local beaches and greenway. I am a gifted talker, napper, and grazer eater. I am secretly amazing at building in Minecraft! I love to laugh and think that a sense of humour is an essential trait as a múinteoir. I have been spreading my passions for the Irish language and dance for the past few years, encouraging everyone to try and say cúpla focal gach lá and inspiring Irish dancers to stay active and participate.

I am excited to make new life-long friendships and meet inspirational brave women with big dreams while on my Rose journey. My life value is; victory does not always mean winning. Victory means rising after every fall.
