A Clare doctor has arrived in India to represent Ireland at the 71st edition of the Miss World competition.

Ivanna McMahon was crowned Miss Ireland in 2022 and is now over in India to represent Ireland.

The 29-year-old, who is originally from the townland of Barefield, completed a degree in Medicine and is currently working as a doctor, as well as a model.

Yesterday, the young woman was at the G20 summit table in Delhi, India.

“I am incredibly proud to have had the opportunity to sit and discuss the need for inclusive education and lifelong learning for all at the G20 summit table this morning,” she told her supporters on social media.

Ivanna plays various instruments, including the drums, fiddle, harp and the harmonica. She has travelled abroad to perform with an orchestra.

The Clare native is also an ambassador for Dyslexia Ireland as well as for COPD Ireland, an organisation which support those living with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in Ireland.

Ivanna is among the 25 finalists selected after the ‘Head-to-head’ challenge of Miss World.
