Open to Question..with the new Miss Limerick Becky Costello
IT'S been a whirlwind couple of days for the new Miss Limerick Becky Costello. On Friday she was the toast of the town and 48 hours later her boyfriend – hurler Gavin O'Mahony – was the toast of the county.
But the 19 year-old from Kilmallock is taking it all in her stride and is looking forward to representing Limerick. "I'm delighted. It's a brilliant opportunity and I'm going to make the most of it," she said.
