BAI rejects five complaints received following Rose of Tralee

Most of the complaints against the Rose of Tralee concerned the contribution of Maigan Kennedy, the North Carolina Rose who, according to one complainant, “was allowed to ridicule, make fun of, and generally rubbish the Irish Roman Catholic Mass”.
Ms Kennedy had compared Mass to going to the gym, in that it involves repeated acts of sitting down and standing up, with the reward of a “biscuit” at the end.
