Rose of Tralee host Daithi O’Sé at last year’s festival launch
This morning.
“Taking into account Government guidelines, the safety of our communities, and the ability to deliver a wonderful Festival; we have decided to postpone our 2020 Festival until August 2021.
“Our immediate priority is to support the health and civic authorities in doing whatever we can to keep each other safe and well, and ultimately to protect lives.”
Anthony O’Gara, Executive Chair, Rose of Tralee International
Stop that.

A saint?
She’s a goddammed angel.
