Description

Katelyn Cummins from Ballyouskil, just across the Laois-Kilkenny border, became the newest Laois Rose last Friday night when she was crowned at the selection night in the Midlands Park Hotel. 
Held just every two years now, she takes over from Sinead Dowd from Cullohill who was the 2023 winner. 
Katelyn had come straight from work for this interview, where she is an apprentice electrician with Alpha Drives in Portlaoise. She chats about working in a male-dominated industry, her upbringing on the family dairy farm and her love of camogie and dancing. 
As well as that she discusses the thrill of being crowned Laois Rose, what it means to her family and why they can't all wait to get to Tralee for the iconic festival in August.
