A Cathaoirleach’s Reception for Katelyn Cummins was held by Kilkenny County Council in County Hall on Monday evening.
The Kilkenny native was crowned Rose of Tralee 2025 and winner of the RTE series Dancing with the Stars a year later.
The ceremony acknowledged the distinction she has brought to Kilkenny in her achievements.
Cummins, who represented Laois in the Rose competition, has a deep connection with both Laois and Kilkenny, hailing from Ballyouskill.
Cathaoirleach of the local authority, Cllr Mary Hilda Cavanagh, extended her warm congratulations to Katelyn on behalf of Kilkenny County Council and wished her continued success in the years ahead.
