Jenkinstown man to represent Louth at Mr. Personality Festival!

Joseph McEneaney

Joseph McEneaney will represent Louth Macra at the 19th Annual Mr. Personality Festival which is being organised by Kilkenny County Macra. 

The festival will take place during the 10th and 11th of April. There are exciting times ahead as the Mr Personality Festival heads to Langton’s Hotel Kilkenny for the very first time. The festival has been kindly sponsored by Kilkenny, Carlow and District Farm Relief Services. 

Joseph is 21 years old and is an active member of North Louth Macra and has listed the time that he hosted and acted as Quiz Master for a club quiz  as one of his most memorable Macra moments. His hobbies and interests include football, welding and cars. He is a man of many talents! Joseph believes he will make a good representative for Louth Macra because he has been hugely involved in restarting the Macra club in North Louth. 

He is the current chairperson of the club and has recently organised a tractor run and a table quiz to promote the club and build traction. 

He has a jam-packed weekend ahead of him as the contestants will arrive in Kilkenny at 1:30pm on Friday the 10th of April where they will embark on their first group activity of the weekend. One of the highlights of the festival each year is the on-stage interviews which will kick off at 7:00pm in The Ball Room, Langton’s Hotel. The on-stage interviews will be conducted by our MC, Aindriú de Paor from 2FM, which means it is sure to be full of laughs and fun-filled entertainment along the way. 

This will be followed by music from the much-anticipated ‘The Deere Johns’ and DJ until late. Judging the contestants this year will be 2025 Rose of Tralee, Katelyn Cummins, Influencer, James Kavanagh and UCD assistant professor, Brian Leonard.

Joseph will have an early start on Saturday morning with contestants conducting private interviews with our judges. Once the interviews are finished, the contestant’s challenges will take place which will see Joseph being put through his paces! 

On Saturday evening, Joseph will be donning his suit and meeting with Kilkenny, Carlow and District Farm Relief Services to have their official photos taken. This is followed by the banquet, starting at 7pm. ‘Sweet Freedom’ will be playing hit after hit, until Mr Personality 2026 is announced at 12 midnight. The DJ will be continuing the celebrations until the early morning.
