Rathumllan's Katie McAteer is Donegal's new Rose

A Rathmullan woman has been crowned as the new Donegal Rose.

24-year-old PR account manager Katie McAteer will represent Donegal at home and at the Rose of Tralee International Festival in August.

Katie was chosen from a group of 10 young women who took part in a selection event in The Abbey Hotel on Saturday night, where the reigning Donegal Rose, Chloe Kennedy, handed over the title.

All the Roses were interviewed by judges  Rory O’Donnell, Ali Logue and Catherine Lagan in the Central Hotel before their friends and family gathered for the evening selection in the Abbey Hotel with MC Ollie Turner.
