24-year-old Ciara Dooley is from a little rural area in South Kildare, known as Maganey. She is the second eldest of five siblings. My dad is from Kildare while her mam is a Carlow woman from the village of Palatine.

After school Ciara studied Social Care while working part-time as a waitress in the Seven Oaks Hotel, Carlow. Leading from this she became a restaurant supervisor and that was when she realised that she wanted to further her career in hospitality and is now the Assistant Restaurant Manager at Mimosa Bar de Tapas in Carlow.

Ciara loves Irish dancing and Gaelic football. She has won many medals over the years with Castledermot LGFA.

"It is the most euphoric feeling in the world to be an ambassador for such a great little county."
