Speaking following her appearance, Clodagh admitted she was still pinching herself at having been involved in what is regarded as an iconic annual moment in Irish life.
She told The Clare Echo, “Standing on stage at the Rose of Tralee and singing the finale song was a moment I’ll never forget. To be part of such a beautiful tradition, surrounded by so much pride, joy and celebration, was a true honour. The energy in the Dome, the voices joining together, and the sense of connection with everyone there made it feel magical. It was one of those experiences where you just stop and think – this is really special”.
