Rose of Tralee logo
The 2024 Rose of Tralee has been crowned this evening, live on television from the Co Kerry town.
This year's winner is the New Zealand Rose Keely O'Grady.
Kilkenny Rose Lisa O'Rourke represented the county in this year's competition, doing a wonderful job!
Lisa took to the stage for her televised interview with co-host Katherine Thomas on Monday night and then sang 'Never saw blue like that' by Shawn Colvin.
Following an entrance to one of the loudest cheers of the night, Lisa was interviewed on stage by Katherine Thomas and she had a shout-out to the Castlecomer Pantomime Society and Kilkenny Musical Society members supporting her in the crowd.
Lisa was also supported in Tralee by her family, including her dad, grandad, brothers and aunts.
