New Rose of Tralee to be crowned

The new Rose of Tralee will be crowned tonight.

She'll be named after tonight's live interviews and party pieces in the Festival Dome.

14 roses will be taking to the stage, after 18 last night.

Sydney Rose Ciara Rafferty says she will take home incredible memories of the whole experience.

"People are not going to believe the experience we've had, nothing could prepare you for how beautiful and how overwhelming the support is. It's a great experience," said Ms Rafferty.
