THE Dome rocked last night as 1,400 people enjoyed the highlight of the social year in Tralee.
The Dome had to be extended to accommodate the huge demand for tickets as there were 65 Roses this year instead of the usual 32, so it was always going to be a tight squeeze. But it was pulled off with aplomb and everyone enjoyed the night.
We were there to capture the style before the guests sat down for their meals in the following photos (we’ll have more tomorrow)…
