Local Girl Has Date with Mr. Ireland!

20150213_083335Local Kilcock girl Elaine Carruthers was recently selected to appear on TV3’s Blind Date with Mr. Ireland choosing a date. Elaine was one of 3 girls selected from thousands who applied to appear on the show. Not only did she make the final 3 but Mr. Ireland, Karl Bowe, selected the lovely Elaine and they went for a champagne breakfast.

The following morning, they appeared on TV3 to say how the date had gone and both seemed very happy. A second date was arranged and our local girl and Mr. Ireland went to dinner and a show afterwards…

Great to see a local girl achieving national publicity and well done Elaine! You looked stunning!
