In her words:My name is Mary Mullally, I’m a 36 year old mam of four, three girls Gabrielle 17, Lisamarie 13, Jade 12 and little boy Travis 2 years old. I grew up in Enniscorthy, Co. Wexford but have been living in Youghal the past few years with my partner.I’m a qualified MUA Makeup Artist, tans and extensions and also did a course on life coaching, if I can help anyone it's what I am all about. I’ve worked with many shows and charities over the years to raise much needed money.I started my first pageants (Ireland Pageants) journey back in 2016 to build build up my self confidence after a bad relationship which worked wonders, since then I’ve done so much more to show other girls and ladies out there, that you can always follow your dreams and there’s always light at the end of the tunnel, if I can do it anyone can.I got a chance to take part in Miss Bikini Ireland back in 2017, which was a fabulous experience, I also got to take part in Top Model Ireland. The biggest break for me was going to the UK to represent Ireland at Miss Carnival Queen International with my youngest daughter Jade who also took part.I took a two year break  back in February 2020 because of health reasons but more importantly to welcome my son Travis into the world.  I suffer from Endometriosis so I undertook Salpingectomy surgery around this time. I’m so grateful to have my children as Endometriosis can cause infertility in women.I then took back to the stage few months after surgery in July after a few beautiful words from my Pageant sister Mrs Joy Kelly who I first met at the Ireland Pageant who is now the beautiful Mrs Galaxy Ireland, to take part in Miss Emerald Isle (with scars and all) where I came in the top three and went on to winning, 1st running (2nd place) up in the Mrs Group (Publicity Winner), Beauty With A Purpose. Iit was fantastic to be back on stage, I’m also waiting to go back and take part in the Ireland Pageant as Ms.Munster 2020 with my second daughter Lisamarie for Miss Teen Munster 2022, hopefully it will go ahead this year as it had been cancelled twice due to the pandemic.I was super excited when my good friend Sandra McKenzie-Vass Keogh (Miss Elegance Of The World International) asked me if I would be interested in taking part in the Miss Elegance Of The World Ireland heat final taking place at The Imperial Hotel, Cork on the 31st of July 2021. Sandra didn't have to ask me twice as I was super excited to be part of this team, I was also in talk with the director Mr Anthony Turner last year but with lock-down it couldn't go ahead but I’m now delighted to be part of it this year. It will be a bit different than others years as it won't be performed on stage only via video, but still I can't wait to be with the ladies that will win will go to the final in Blackpool next March at The Imperial Hotel, Blackpool and if we’re lucky to win we’ll go the grand final in Florida to represent Ireland.I would recommend Pageant to anyone, it's not all about looking pretty but building your confidence up and meeting new people.
