Emily Walshe sponsored by Inch House Hotel My name is Emily Walshe. I’m a 23 year old theatre nurse from Kilkenny and working up in Dublin in the Mater Hospital. I love travelling and having new adventures. I’m very family orientated and love coming home to Kilkenny to spend time with my family and visit all my friends back home. I’m very passionate about music and am self taught in multiple instruments and am a trained classical singer. I’m also very social and love going to different events so I’ve found doing The Rose so enjoyable to meet all the girls and go to all the events organised.

Grace Quigley sponsored by Drakelands Nursing Home I’m a psychiatric nurse. I graduated from WIT in 2019 and since then have been working as a nurse. I worked part time as a HCA and nurse in Drakelands Nursing Home Kilkenny, who are my sponsors. I love my job and all the people I work with. No day is the same and I have a great laugh with the residents. I grew up in the countryside about 15 kilometres from Kilkenny City. I like to travel and have been many places. I’ve been inside the pyramids in Egypt, France, Portugal, Spain, Turkey, Italy and more. Before Covid I went on a trip along the West Coast of America. Recently I’ve enjoyed exploring closer to home, including the stairway to Heaven in Fermanagh and swimming in the Vico Baths in Dublin. In my free time, I go on long walks, on my own listening to podcasts or with my friends or mam.
