HERE'S SOMETHING to meditate on. Alice O'Sullivan (69), the first Rose of Tralee, who has returned to the festival as one of this year's judges for the 50th anniversary, has never watched any of the television coverage over the intervening years. Nothing at all. Never. Not once. This has to make her perspective tonight and tomorrow – on the annual mini-dramas of frocks, party pieces and lovely girls – unique among all past and present Rose of Tralee judges, writes ROSITA BOLAND.
"I feel like a party pooper saying I slept for an hour last night," she confessed. That would be, she told us, because Alice O'Sullivan, the winner of the first Rose of Tralee in 1959 and a judge this year, had not slept at all – and had already been out for a 3km walk.
