In this post, we are taking a look at the Donegal Rose odds plus everything you need to know about the county’s representative ahead of the 2024 Rose of Tralee.

Rose of Tralee – Donegal Rose Odds

You can back Donegal Rose Niamh Shevlin at 6/1 to win the 2024 Rose of Tralee. Those odds imply that she has a 14.3% chance of winning the coveted prize this year.

Interestingly, a Donegal Rose has never won the Rose of Tralee so Niamh will be hoping to make history this week by winning the event and ensure they are partying long into the night up in the hills of Donegal.

Who is Donegal Rose Niamh Shevlin?

Niamh Shevlin is a 27-year-old who was born and raised in Co. Donegal. She has a massive passion for Irish dancing, teaching and travel.

In the world of Irish dancing, she has had massive success since first getting into it at the age of 4 alongside her twin brother. The pair went on to perform internationally together under the name of ‘The Shevlin Twins’.

More recently, Niamh was performing as ‘Saoirse’, the lead role in Michael Flatley’s ‘Lord of the Dance’. These days one of her biggest goals is to pass on her passion for Irish dancing to the next generation.

This year’s Donegal Rose recently qualified to become a primary school teacher. She also teaches weekly lessons to children in Africa after travelling to Uganda in 2023.
