Meet Tara Kilbane

Lovely Name: Tara Kilbane.

Heat: Galway

From: Achill Island, Co. Mayo.

Likes: Praying, listening to quality musicians such as James Kilbane, Big Tom and Declan Nerny, choir practice(i have the voice of an angel), and of course i love to cook, clean, bake and care for the farm animals.

Dislikes: People who mean and selfish, blasphemy i just cannot abide! i also dislike spiders and all things creepy and crawly.

Describe your dress sense: Very tasteful, colourful and original. I have created much of my own wardrobe,sometimes you just cant buy good taste in the shops.

What do you see as the role of a good wife: A good wife must be diligent to her husbands every need. She must possess essential skills including the ability to cook, bake, clean, scrub, knit, darn and organise without nagging or becoming bossy or pushy. most importantly she needs to be able to make a perfect cup of tea.

What did you make specially for the heat you won: As i make my own clothing, i knitted a beautiful pair of bloomers from lambs wool. They're a must for every lovely girls wardrobe as they are both very fashionable and practical. There is also a hidden compartment to hide your rosary beads, prayer books or maybe your purse.

What would winning Lovely Girl 2008 mean to you? it would mean everything to me. It already has been a life changing experience since winning the heat!|It is a great honour to be selected for such a prestigious title. I've wanted to be a lovely girl for as long as i can remember.

Stoneground or soda: it has to be soda made with the finest buttermilk served hot with butter and a cup of sweet tea .
