IT'S just 24 hours to go to the gala Miss Ireland final - and don't these hopefuls look relaxed.
The nerves may be starting to kick in today, but this was the scene earlier in the week when this year's batch of Miss Ireland contestants hit the Spa Sula in Westport's Castlecourt Hotel as part of their preparations for the final tomorrow night.
The bevy of beauties had earlier competed in a boot camp with fitness guru Paul Byrne at Westport's Adventure Island, a mecca for thrillseekers.
The girls were treated to relaxing pedicures, manicures and a bit of R&R following their hardcore endeavours in Mayo.
Miss Sunday World Emma Cronin from Cork has been installed as one of the bookies' favourites to take the tiara.
