All style and smiles for Killarney Races’ queen of fashion

ON a cloudy day when the rain thankfully held off, a glamorous boutique owner lit up the course when she won the fashion stakes at Killarney Races.

Emer O’Shea-Irwin, looking radiant in a dress finished the previous night with her sister and business partner, Clodagh, scooped the Dawn Dairies Queen of Fashion award on Ladies’ Day.

Admirers described her 1940s style dress as ‘pinkish cream’, but Emer, who is married to former Kerry footballer Billy O’Shea and lives in Killorglin, more precisely said it was blush-coloured.
