The Mullingar woman will represent Westmeath at the Rose of Tralee Festival in August.

Mullingar’s Caoilfhinn Ní Choiligh has been crowned the 2026 Westmeath Rose.

The 25-year-old is opening up about living with alopecia since the age of 15 and wants to support others experiencing hair loss.

She founded The Hair Loss Haven, a community that offers advice, support and meet ups for members.

She will now represent Westmeath at the 2026 Rose of Tralee Festival in Kerry, which takes place from August 14th to August 18th.

She says she wasn’t expecting it when her name was announced:
