Nasty attack on the Rose festival

I READ Suzanne Harrington’s article on the Rose of Tralee festival (Irish Examiner, August 13) with growing distaste.

While I have absolutely no interest in this festival or in the spectacle of the Eurovision Song Contest, both of which receive extensive coverage from RTÉ, I accept that many people derive enjoyment from them, and that doesn’t bother me. The old adage “to each his own” applies.

Suzanne Harrington sees matters quite differently and has concocted an extremely nasty and spiteful farrago on the selection of Rose contestants.
