A man in uniform (again)

What is it about Roses and a man in a uniform? (see previous).

Above is pictured Dearbhla Toal, a Dunshaughlin lady, who has been chosen as the 2011 Meath Rose.

If we may quote from the article in the Meath Chronicle "Until now, I'd never even won a raffle, so I was shocked but humbled by my selection. I have always wanted to take part in the Rose of Tralee since I was a little girl as the competition stands for so much that is good about Ireland and Irish women. It was such a fantastic day and night and I was so glad to be able to share it with friends and family. I really look forward to the next 12 months and hope to do the people of Dunshaughlin and Meath proud as the Meath Rose".

Just a snippet from the article in the Meath Chronicle "The new Rose is a qualified dietitian who runs her own clinic in Ashbourne, as well as lecturing. Sarah has spent time travelling the world alone and has volunteered to work with children in India, along with raising funds for charities at home. She is a big fan of Meath GAA, is a keen swimmer and has enjoyed horseriding since she was a child".
