Miss Earth Ireland 2020 Eileen Mary O’Donnell, 28, of Dublin, Ireland will crown her successor at The Royal Theatre Castlebar in Castlebar, County Mayo, Ireland on August 29, 2021. This will be the first edition of the national beauty pageant that selects Ireland’s Miss Earth candidate under the directorship of Erin de Burca, Alan Murphy, Garreth Dunleavy and Denis Finbar Cronin.
