RÓISÍN WILEY, who was recently crowned the International Rose of Tralee has been spotted at the National Ploughing championships which are taking place in county Laois.
Róisín, who lives and works in New York, was pictured alongside fellow Wexford and Laois roses while being interviewed by Irish comedy duo, the 2 Johnnies.
Roísín who holds a strong connection to Ireland through her parents both hailing from County Limerick was crowned this year's winner at the festival in Kerry last month.
The 27-year-old's father, Eddie, is from Kilmallock while her mother, Majella, is originally from Templeglantine.
Despite the horrendous conditions in Ratheniska, county Laois, Róisín seemed in high spirits as she posed outside the RTÉ radio van.
