Kildare Rose Catherine Cunningham is beginning to see a pick-up in support, according to Ladbrokes.
Catherine, who is a caseworker helping those looking to get back into part-time and full-time employment, will be hoping to be the first-ever Kildare Rose to win the competition.
She is passionate about her job and loves family time at home.
The Rathangan native is currently at 16/1 to win the Rose of Tralee which kicks off later this week.
“All eyes are on Tralee this week in the lead up to the Rose of Tralee,” said Nicola McGeady of Ladbrokes. “The Kildare Rose is seeing some support build in the market.”
