The 56th Rose of Tralee festival kicked off tonight and Twitter had a lot to say on the subject.
In case you missed Her.ie’s live tweeting, here’s what you need to know.
Presenter Dáithí Ó Sé put on a skirt at one point, the Boston Rose has appeared on Orange Is The New Black, the Cork Rose proved that love can blossom in Copper Face Jacks AND there’s drama between the Monaghan and Louth Roses.
Check out the Twitter reaction below…
