Rose of Tralee hopefuls to visit Kilkenny

Rose of Tralee Katelyn Cummins gets to showcase her native city to this year’s competition contenders.

All 32 of those in the running to wear the crown and sash held by the Ballyouskil woman are to arrive by bus to Kilkenny later today where they’re expected to visit a number of local businesses.

Among them is the county’s hopeful Rachel Walsh from Threecastles.

The Rose Tour comes ahead of the main festival which runs in county Kerry from 13th-18th August (details here).

Stay tuned as we’ll be linking up to the crew and meeting some of the Roses later.
