Carrick-on-Shannon native Catherine Cullen is the new Leitrim Rose.

Catherine, who hails from a farm just outside the town, was selected at an event held in the Bush Hotel on Saturday night.

She will now represent the county in this year’s Rose of Tralee International Festival in Kerry next month.

With a love of Irish Music and Sean Nós dancing, Catherine is also an award winning Fleadh Cheoil lilting champion.
