Shauna McDonagh has been crowned the 2026 Dungloe Mary.
Shauna was named the winner at the selection held in The Midway Bar and Guesthouse, Dungloe. She will be hoping to follow in the footsteps of 2025 Dungloe Mary Ellie Ward, who went on to win at this year’s Mary from Dungloe International Arts Festival.
The Bridge Inn Dungloe offered congratulations, posting: “To say we are super proud would be an understatement, following in the footsteps of Ellie we now have Shauna representing us at next year's Mary From Dungloe as the Dungloe Mary. Well done Shauna and all the McDonagh family.”
