Olivia Mollaghan is Miss Longford representing her county in the 77th Miss Ireland Final

Olivia Mollaghan (22) will represent Longford in the 2025 Miss Ireland Final coming up on June 14 at The Knightsbrook Hotel in Trim, Co Meath. Olivia graduated last year from DCU with 1st class honours degree in Communications Studies. She is currently a news coordinator with RTE and content creator. 

Olivia's chosen charity is Hygiene Hub, which provides hygiene products to people who cannot afford them. This includes schools. Since having an online presence, Olivia became aware of how many difficulties children face in school because of a lack of access to hygiene products. 

The finalists vying for the coveted Miss Ireland 2025 crown will step into the spotlight next weekend and embrace their journey of empowerment, leadership, and community impact with a spectacular ceremony, vibrant performances and a star-studded audience.
