IT seems with every year the chatter on Twitter for the Rose selection nights grows louder and last night was no exception. Featuring, Mike Denver, Dáithí in a Tutu and ‘dung spitting’ of all things, the Rose of Tralee was back with all its odd, beautiful glory and it was trending worldwide at one stage too!
An average of 493,900 viewers tuned into last night’s #RoseofTralee up 7.6k on last year!
