My name is Allie Leahy and I am 24 years old. I live in Kinnitty, Co. Offaly. I am employed by Tullamore Pet Hospital as a receptionist, working with fabulous pet owners and adorable animals. I enjoy pilates, cooking, socialising with my family and friends and I love to walk my dog Shrek. I train the underage Kinnitty camogie team. I was never much of a camogie player myself, but I have found training the underage team an incredibly rewarding experience. It is a great privilege to provide encouragement, support and mentorship to these young women at such a key point in their lives. I am passionate about travelling! I love meeting new people and learning about other cultures. I have been to various European cities as well as New York and Melbourne. I also lived in Inveraray, Scotland before moving home due to the pandemic. I consider myself a bubbly, friendly and an enthusiastic person (unless I’m hangry!). I am incredibly grateful to be a participant in this year’s Rose of Tralee International Festival. I am excited to meet all of the other fantastic ladies and to empower women and young girls globally to believe in themselves and follow their dreams!
