The past few days have been "different" for Pamela Uba, as she tries to settle into her new role as Miss Ireland. Pamela's Miss Ireland journey began in March 2020 when she was crowned Miss Galway just three days before the nation's first lockdown. "The Miss Galway competition was taking place one night in the bar I worked at and one of the judges thought I was a contestant. She was already a fan of some of the previous Miss Ireland winners, including Cork's Aoife O'Sullivan. The Miss World competition is taking place in Puerto Rico this year for the whole month of November.
