We were lucky enough here at St. Anne’s to have had a recent surprise visit from this year’s Rose of Tralee, Keely O’Grady, and the Meath Rose for 2025 Ella Bannon. They were accompanied by Niall Devlin, a past pupil, who was an escort at last year’s Rose Festival.The girls spoke to our whole school about their experiences with the Rose of Tralee festival and answered lots of our questions too. It was wonderful to see them, and to hear them speak so proudly of their Irish Heritage. They may have even inspired a few future roses!
