The 2023 International Rose of Tralee Róisín Wiley in Tralee Town Park.
The mayor of Tralee has said there is "not a hope in the world" the Rose of Tralee would survive outside the Kerry town after suggestions the broadcast part of the festival could air from Dublin.
Johnnie Wall's comments came after the CEO of the Rose of Tralee festival, Anthony O’Gara, speculated about moving the historic event elsewhere after admitting the organisers “struggle to break even” each year.
