Maeve Dunne, Laois Rose 2017, did not succeeded in being selected for the televised part of the competition last year but she was very busy nonetheless.
Maeve was on stage last Thursday in the Dome when the MC on the night was RTÉ's Marty Morrissey, who enjoyed a meet and greet with every Rose before chatting to them.
