Kilkenny man set for final of search for Ireland’s most eligible Bachelor this weekend

Kilkenny man John Coady is one of six contestants through to the Westmeath Bachelor Final 2023 which takes place on Saturday.

The youngest of a family of five, John (31) is from Castlecomer in North Kilkenny. His great-grandmother is from Mullingar and came to Kilkenny in the 1960s.

A man of many roles and armed with his Ag Science degree, John works on a farm, for a funeral director, a bookkeeper and most recently a model – which might be of use as he struts the stage at the competition.

The Westmeath Bachelor Competition will take place Mullingar Arts Centre on July 29.

It’s been described as the male answer to the Rose of Tralee, but most importantly, it’s a bit of craic!
