Miss Ireland’s Caoimhe Kenny has said she is ’emotional’ celebrating her one year anniversary of the day she was crowned the title.<\/p>\n

The beauty queen – and daughter of football manager Stephen Kenny – was crowned Miss Ireland last June and will travel later this year to represent Ireland on the global stage at Miss World in Vietnam in a few weeks.<\/p>\n

The Brown Thomas beauty buyer reflected on Sunday morning about the last 12 months, admitting why she was ‘feeling emotional’.<\/p>\n

She said on social media: ‘Today is a really special day for me. It officially marks one year as Miss Ireland<\/a>. I can’t believe I’m saying that. I can’t believe how quickly this year has went.<\/p>\n

‘I’ve just woken up with so much gratitude, feeling so grateful for all the opportunities I’ve had this year. I’m actually getting a bit emotional…all the people that I’ve met along the way.’<\/p>\n

The Co Louth native<\/a> said since the winning the title, she firmly believes that ‘dreams really do come true.’<\/p>\n

‘This year has confirmed for me that your dreams really do come true with hard work, perseverance, and just never giving up. And I feel very fortunate that I get to represent my country at Miss World in Vietnam in the next few weeks.’<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Miss Ireland’s Caoimhe Kenny has said she is ’emotional’ celebrating her one year anniversary of the day she…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":499658,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[61,60,43],"class_list":["post-499657","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ireland","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/499657","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=499657"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/499657\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/499658"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=499657"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=499657"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=499657"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
