Maura Derrane, with RTÉ 1 Today show co-host Dáithí Ó Sé, said she wouldn’t like to see a female presenter of the Rose of Tralee

That Dáithí Ó Sé
Will speak to the Roses again

Britain’s Queen Elizabeth and US president Donald Trump at Windsor Castle last month

At the news of last month’s royal date

Too pricey for art
To thrive in its heart
So with sadness he’s going to split.

If your sport is served up with an ad
That makes you place a bet
That you later regret
And an outright ban would make him glad

Came up with a badly flawed plan
They decided to get
Themselves on the net
But gave the job to the wrong man

They’ve found water under the ice
On Mars, so will this entice
Us to launch a new race
And journey to space
And live in a red paradise?
