PICTURE SPECIAL: Meet all the hopefuls bidding to be crowned Offaly Rose of Tralee 2025

Ciara Stynes sponsored by Surface Magic

I am 21 years of age. I am from the little village of Rhode. I have just finished up my social care degree where I studied in TUS Athlone for 3 years. I am also a barber part time. My hope is to work in the area of social care before taking some time to travel around Europe and other parts of the world.  I have always had a passion for music but particularly traditional music. My great-grandfather inspired me to learn the tin whistle from a young age after hearing him play. I swiftly took a liking and began learning concertina as well.  Special thanks to my sponsor Surface Magic.
