Wearing a backless red gown, Leah was presented with her Miss Galway 2014 crown and sash, along with a bouquet of flowers sponsored by Happy Days Florist.
The event took place at Coyotes Late Bar where 18 contestants took to the catwalk and were interviewed on- stage by MC Declan Gardiner. This year, the judging panel consisted of Mandy Maher, Lauragh Quinn, Alan Quin, Sophie Small, April Fitzgibbon, and Martina Fallon.

The first and second runners-up were Tanya O’Brien from Loughrea and Nuala Gorham from Carna, who go through to the Wild Card semi-final in Dublin on July 6, which will give them a second chance to be re-entered into the Miss Ireland National Beauty Pageant, July 9.
