A Laois farmer and civil servant is aiming to become Ireland's Mr Personality.
Sylvester Phelan will represent Laois at the 15th Annual Mr. Personality Festival organised by Kilkenny County Macra na Feirme.
Sylvester is 29 years old. He is an active member of Camross Macra na Feirme. His hobbies and interests include Martial arts, Farming, Traditional music, Literature, Football and films. He is a man of many talents.
Sylvester believes he will make a good representative for Laois because he is busy with his involvement with Macra and his diverse range of interests.
