ON THE WATER: Kerry Rose Edaein O'Connell pictured with Rose Escort and chef Lar Whelan relaxing on the water in Parknasilla at the weekend.

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.

Killarney Branch, Kerry Hospice Foundation are hoping the sun will shine for their Sunflower Day fundraiser which takes place on Friday, June 10.

There will be collections at various locations in and around town as well as Foley’s Spar Shop, Fossa and Hegarty’s Spar Shop, Muckross.

“This is our first Sunflower Day collection since 2019. It is one of our main annual fundraising events and is always well supported by the local community” says Cathal Walshe, PRO., Killarney Hospice Branch.

The services provided by Kerry Hospice Foundation for people with life limiting illnesses at it’s 15 bed inpatient unit and “Suaimhneas” Day Care Centre at University Hospital Kerry have been well documented in recent years. Also highlighted is the fact that it costs in the region of €10,000 weekly to provide these services.
Kerry Hospice Foundation has plans for further expansion of its services into the future. An outreach clinic has already been set up at Killarney Community Hospital where patients can meet with a Palliative Care Specialist. This service along with the existing services would not be possible were it not for the generous support Kerry Hospice gets from the people of Kerry.

People can find out more about the work of Kerry Hospice Foundation at www.kerryhospice.com, on Facebook or on Twitter @kerryhospice.
