SHE was runner-up last year but glamorous Killarney woman Jill Duggan went one better this afternoon when she was named best dressed lady at Listowel Races.

A professional beauty therapist and make-up artist, who runs her own business in Killarney, Jill was selected by afternoon TV hosts Daithi Ó Sé and Maura Derrane and her prize was a cheque for €3,000 and the use of a Honda Jazz for a year.

Thousands of punters and fashionistas thronged the course but it was jubilant Jill that stood out in a striking Heidi Higgins turquoise dress – from Kerry’s Boutique in Killarney – with a hat from MacBees in Killarney and shoes from Frank Coffey’s, also in Killarney.

It has been quite a few weeks in the fashion stakes for the stylish mum-of-two, who is married to Patrick Duggan and lives in Killarney. She was also judged to be the best dressed at the annual Models in Recovery fashion show at the INEC in Killarney when she wore a fabulous Ted Baker dress.

The first runner-up in Listowel today was Joanne Murphy from Kilgarvan.
