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.
Representing the two counties are Oisín Kiernan of Ballymachugh, Conor Smith of Lavey, along with Gavin Brady of Redhills along with Shane McKenna of Truagh, Shane Treanor from Tydavnet, Enda Shalvey of Maudabawn and Dave McKearney from Castleblayney.
The Rose of Tralee returns to the Kingdom from August 14th - August 18th.
Conor, Gavin, Shane, Enda and Dave joined Ronan Gargan on the Wider View this afternoon.
