Édaein enjoys relaxing trip ahead of Rose Festival appearance

There's just a week to go before her appearance at the Rose of Tralee so Kerry Rose Édaein O’Connell took some time out to enjoy the glorious spell of sunshine.
The long-awaited Festival - which took a two year break due to the pandemic - makes its long-awaited return next week.
Édaein enjoyed a trip on the water at the Parknasilla Hotel at the weekend and got a nice surprise when hotel chef Lar Whelan, who is also an Escort in this year's Festival, cooked a meal for her.
“It is so beautiful and peaceful here and a perfect place to spend some quiet time with family before going on tour with my fellow Roses,” Édaein said.
“I thought it would be a nice surprise for Édaein if I cooked something special for her,” Lar, hails from Wexford and is very much looking forward to the Rose of Tralee Festival and his duties as a Rose Escort, added.
Punters have been busy making their predictions on who will be crowned the winner - with Kerry Rose topping the betting.
27-year-old Édaein from Glenderry, near Listowel has been made the early favourite with BoyleSports.
The journalist is a keen singer, having won two All-Ireland Fleadh Cheoil titles in her time and is the 3/1 from 5/1 favourite to be crowned the 2022 Rose of Tralee.
The talented beauty has plenty of competition, however, with Tipperary Rose Aisling O'Donovan next in the betting. The primary school teacher who hails from Fethard, has been backed into 8/1 from 10/1 and is an avid sports enthusiast.
