Thirty two women from around the world have entered the 60th annual Rose Of Tralee contest. 

This year’s 60th anniversary festival runs from August 23rd to August 27th.  Daithi and the 32 Roses will take to the stage on RTÉ One on Monday, August 26 and Tuesday, August 27.  Daithi has been hosting the competition since 2010.  Last year’s competition was won by Waterford Rose, Kirsten Mate Maher.

The host for the event, of course, will be none other than the incomparable Daithi O’Se, who joined Ivan on Friday.
