Ah Mr Ó Sé, we’ve been expecting you.
This afternoon.
Malahide Castle, County Dublin.

Dáithí Ó Sé brought a license to thrill to the RTÉ Rose of Tralee launch when he was helicoptered into Malahide Castle to meet all 64 hopeful Roses for the first time ahead of this year’s 2017 Rose of Tralee International Festival.
Dáithí’s dramatic aerial entrance, courtesy of a former Rose of Tralee escort and pilot Ted Robinson, ensured that the Rose of Tralee festival started in style.
This is Dáithí’s eighth year presenting the show, proving that in his eyes Roses are forever; he and the 2017 Roses were in flying form at Malahide Castle before they began their journey to Tralee.
The festival is now in its 58th year and interviews with the final 32 Roses will be broadcast live from the festival dome in Kerry at 8pm on Monday 21 and Tuesday 22 August on RTÉ One with a break for the Nine O’Clock News….
FIGHT!
Meanwhile…

And those hurls are way too big for them
but they are wearing the right shoes so..
You liked that detail eh Janet? Me, too.
The shoes are fine.
(You’re perhaps confusing hurling with camogie, little lady. You can still roar “pull on it ta fúpp” at them, though)
giggles like the little ladies I am
See! Much prettier now than when you’re being all serious and stuff.
as his heliicoptor says El Pox!
Everyone line up for the annual “Chase Daithi, he’s a big ride photo.”
more of a sitting trot in an American saddle than a gallop at Aintree I’d say
I love the way BS claims to be above this patriarchal nonsense while at the same time vigorously promoting it
where do they claim to be ‘above this patriarchal nonsense’ Flakey? BS has been doing this kind of post for years. They kind of specialise in it. Are you new to the site? Genuine. No offence meant btw
When did they “claim” this
Christ have I been in the wrong gaff all this time lads

…I see my comment on a certain county’s belief in the power of prayer has been deleted…may the sacred Harte forgive you Bodger…
I like when comments get deleted but the disgruntled commenter explains the jist of the comment. Keeps things fluid.

rephrase untill you break through!
Love the rose of tralee so i do, almost enough to coax me back
Such diversity.

I’m not crazy about seeing all of his face now that he’s lost the beard, if I’m being honest.
Even less of an incentive to watch.
