Cork Rose - Nancy Lehane
CLICK ON THE ARROWS ABOVE TO BROWSE THROUGH THE GALLERY
My name is Nancy Lehane, and I’m honoured to be the 2025 Cork Rose. I’m 22 years old and proudly from Meelin, the highest village in Ireland. I recently completed my degree in primary school teaching. Teaching has always been part of who I am. I began teaching music to children and adults at fourteen and continued until I was seventeen. Even now, I am often teaching my four brothers how to hang clothes on the line properly — so teaching was definitely the path for me! Teaching children was always a dream of mine. Music has been a huge part of my life since the age of five. I play the guitar, piano, concertina, and tin whistle, and I love to sing. I’ve shared my music at community events and through volunteering, and I’m passionate about using it to bring joy to others. I also love sport and play Gaelic football with my local club. I enjoy the craic, teamwork, and fitness it brings. I’m so grateful and excited for the journey ahead as the 2025 Cork Rose.
