Rose of Tralee supporters are seeing red after several of their large roadside ‘good luck’ signs for the Cork Rose were removed from her hometown for alleged breaches of postering rules.

Cork City Council said it removed up to six large signs, which had been erected for Kate Shaughnessy, 25, in and around the Ballincollig area of the city in recent days, from several roadside locations because they had been erected without permission as required under its postering protocol.
