Full bloom at Rose of Tralee: Dresses, dancing... and Dáithí

The new Rose of Tralee undoubtedly had the time of her life last night but there’s plenty more in store for the lovely lady this morning as her year in the spotlight truly begins to unfurl before her.

The winner, who was crowned last night after the second of two live shows, was showered with flowers and presents and attention following another widely watched production which showcased the remaining 14 Roses.

New York Rose Sophie Colgan was first up, wowing the audience in a black and gold dress by Dom O’Neill.
