YOU know the Festival is only days away when you see photos of Roses in Croke Park.
The Rose of Tralee 2015 contestants have gathered in the capital where they begun their five day tour of Ireland before arriving at the Fels Point Hotel next Friday afternoon.
This morning they met up at Dublin Airport before being whisked off for a tour of GAA headquarters where a few of them got their hands on the Sam Maguire and Liam McCarthy cups.
Kerry’s Julett Culloty got her hands on Sam, but Aisling Finnegan, the Dublin Rose tried to pry it from her.
No chance Aisling!
Domnick Walsh sent us these photos.
