A Laois law student is in the running to be the new Miss Ireland. 

Sarah Corbet (19) from Clonaslee will represent Laois this year at the 75th Miss Ireland, proudly sponsored by TanOrganic.  The 37 finalists vying for the coveted Miss Ireland 2022 title were revealed at a sparkling white party last week for this, the 75th Diamond Jubilee of the competition. 

The finalists arrived in an open top bus to celebrate in style and begin their Miss Ireland 2022 journey.  Sarah Corbet is studying Law and human rights in NUI Galway and hopes to one day work for the UN. Sarah enjoys playing football and basketball and has represented her country internationally for basketball.

Selections have taken place all over the country to find contestants from each county and the winner from each county will represent their county at the most spectacular ever Diamond Jubilee Miss Ireland show with 1,500 in attendance at the Royal Theatre Castlebar on August 20. As Miss Laois, Sarah will represent her county and attend various awards, openings and engagements in her county over the next year as well as working on her various charity projects.

This year the overriding theme for Miss Ireland is ‘Our World Our Future’ with a focus on the environment and global citizenship.

The finalists of Miss Ireland this year will be put through their paces in a challenging competitive process testing their skills in debating, public speaking, talent, sports, modelling, social media and each finalist will be tasked with raising much-needed awareness and funds for their chosen charities. Challenges will also include beach clean ups, ethical upcycling, education pieces and a new Miss Eco-Ireland sash will be awarded.
