THE most glamorous night of the year in Kerry didn’t disappoint last night as well over a thousand people converged on the Dome for the Rose Ball.
A champagne reception greeted the guests as they entered the venue and they were entertained by a wonderful opening act of music and dancing inspired by ‘The Greatest Showman’ musical.
Guests who paid €150 a ticket enjoyed a starter plate of goats cheese, paté and black pudding courgette, followed by a champagne sorbet, fillet steak or hake and a raspberry pannacotta.
