Ms Gay Ireland is a national competition celebrating LGBT women from all over Ireland. The winner of each qualifying heat represents their area in the national final.
The first Ms Gay Ireland took place in The Forum, Waterford City in September 2010 with Tasha Clyde claiming victory and the chance to bring the competition to her hometown.
Tasha's chosen charity, Rainbow Support Services and the overall national charity, LGBT Diversity National Trust Fund, both received half of all proceeds raised.
Ms Gay Ireland 2011 was held in Dolan's Warehouse, Limerick on Friday 9th September as part of Limerick Pride and was won by Ms Gay Dublin Emma Parkes. Her chosen charity was BeLonG To. As a result, the national final will take place in The George, Dublin in 2012!
