Listen Back: 7 local lads take on Rose of Tralee Escort roles

Cavan and Monaghan is set to be very well represented at this years Rose of Tralee International Festival.

Not just because there will be a Cavan Rose and a Monaghan Rose but because 7 of the 32 Rose escorts are from the region.

Hundreds of men from right across Ireland vie for the very important position on an annual basis.
