Laois Rose Katelyn Cummins says winning contest is 'a dream come true'
Laois Rose Katelyn Cummins has said being crowned the 2025 International Rose of Tralee is "a dream come true" and admits she "never expected this to happen". The 20-year-old, who has become the first-ever Laois Rose to take the title, explained how she's watched the popular RTÉ One show "every year for as long as I can remember". Speaking on Morning Ireland on RTÉ Radio 1 on Wednesday, she said: "I think I've been watching it since I was about three or four - and I don't think I've missed a single year." Asked what was going through her mind when she was announced as the winner and was presented with her sash by last year's Rose, New Zealand's Keely O'Grady, Katelyn said she was worried about falling over. "To be honest, my legs were crossed and I thought I was going to fall over to the left side to the Arizona Rose. I was so worried that I was going to fall over," she said. "That's really all that was going through my head." Shortly after her big win, Katelyn embraced her parents and granny - a moment which she'll never forget. "And then I just hugged my mam, dad, and granny. They're rally, really proud of me and gave me the tightest hugs when I went down to greet them. I'm just so delighted to represent my family and our community in Laois," she said. Opening up about her rose tattoo, which is a tribute to her late granny who passed away in June 2023, Katelyn said she "thought the rose was a lovely touch". "She was an avid gardener when she was at home. Her garden was full of beautiful roses - red, pink, orange, yellow, white - every colour under the sun. I loved them, and they smelled absolutely fantastic," she recalled. From the village of Ballyouskill, on the Laois-Kilkenny border, Katelyn is an apprentice electrician currently in her third phase of training, with plans to pursue an engineering degree. Katelyn said she is thrilled to have had the opportunity to participate in this year's contest and hopes that she has inspired young girls throughout Ireland. "You always look up at that girl on stage and think, 'I'd love to be her. I'd love to showcase my talent. I'd love to tell the world who I am.' "I think that's every little girl's dream in Ireland. I'm just so happy that I got the opportunity to do it. I've experienced the Rose Tour, which has been absolutely incredible. I couldn't have asked for a better group of girls to do it with. And Tralee itself - it was absolutely astonishing," she added. Katelyn said the Rose of Tralee represents Irish women who are "strong" and "unbelievably talented". "We represent that Irish women are so strong. We create such a sisterhood together. We are unbelievably talented and intelligent, and we can do anything we put our minds to, no matter what other people say to us." This year's festival brought together 32 International Roses from communities across Ireland and around the world. Over five days, they enjoyed the hospitality of Tralee, along with street parades, music, and entertainment as part of the Féile Trá Lí celebrations.

Reason Rose of Tralee didn't get tiara and the lavish prize she'll get instead
The Rose of Tralee crowned its 65th winner last night, with the title going to 20-year-old Laois Rose Katelyn Cummins. Katelyn, who grew up on a dairy farm and is now completing an electrical apprenticeship, was announced as this year's Rose just before 11.30pm, live on RTE. She was presented with her sash by last year's winner in front of an emotional audience in Tralee. The Laois woman rose to the top of a strong field of 32 Roses, with co-hosts Kathryn Thomas and Dáithí Ó Sé revealing her as the 2025 champion. While Katelyn takes home the prestigious title and a prize package worth tens of thousands, one thing is still missing - the iconic tiara. For decades, the winner of the Rose of Tralee was presented with a bespoke headpiece designed by Waterford Crystal and Tipperary Crystal. But in 2022, organisers scrapped the tradition following public feedback. At the time, Westmeath Rose and 2022 winner Rachel Duffy explained the move. She told Radio Kerry: "For all the young girls out there, it's about developing self-confidence and being okay with being yourself. You don't need a tiara to be a winner." Since then, RTE confirmed that "there is no tiara" for the winning Rose, a decision that continues to divide opinion. Instead of a tiara, Katelyn will enjoy a lavish prize package that includes: World travel voucher worth €25,000, Kia Niro plug-in hybrid car worth worth over €40,000 for her year as Rose Complimentary stays at the 4-star Meadowlands Hotel every time she returns to Tralee Free hair styling throughout the year from Brush 'N' Blush Hair and Beauty Week-long adventure in Kerry, for her and a guest, hosted by Kerry County Council Despite the impressive rewards, many viewers admitted they still miss the traditional crowning moment. Social media lit up last night with calls to bring back the tiara. Laois Rose Katelyn Cummins (Image: RTE News) One person asked online: "Is there no tiara for the new Rose of Tralee?" to which someone replied: "They got rid of the Tiara in 2022. The organisers said it was because of public feedback that it was outdated because young girls watching at home would be self conscious about it. They said that its ok to be yourself and that you don't need a tiara to be a winner." Another asked the official Rose of Tralee twitter account: "Can ye sort out the tiara situation before next year please??" A third wrote: "I have this issue every year. I hate that there is no crown or tiara for the winner. It's such a let down. It was always so special. Surely something they could reintroduce." Someone else stated: "Hate the way it end, no tiara or going down to meet her family." Another joked: "May need to start a gofundme for a new tiara." Other comments included: "So not the same without the tiara", "Bring back the hasn't been the same since they did away with it" and "Petition to bring back the tiara!" The debate is nothing new. In 2023, when New York Rose Roisin Wiley went without the headpiece, a fan poll on X (formerly Twitter) showed 87.5% of voters wanted the tiara reinstated.

Ireland AM viewers divided after complaints about crying child
Ireland AM viewers were left divided over a debate about bringing children to events following an incident at a tennis tournament. Emma Raducanu was playing in the Cincinnati Open last week, when she remarked to the umpire that a crying child had been going on 'for 10 minutes' during the third set of her loss to Aryna Sabalenka. While the umpire was in disbelief at what Emma was implying, some members of the crowd were in agreement and wanted the child to be removed — with the question surrounding small children being brought to events being raised on Ireland AM. Emma Raducanu (GBR) during her second round at the 2022 Australian Open at Melbourne Park in Melbourne, AUSTRALIA, on January 20, 2022. Photo by Corinne Dubreuil/ View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ireland AM (@irelandamvmtv) Actor and father of eight Gerard Jordan said that if there aren't rules in place saying children shouldn't be allowed — pointing to a rule at Wimbledon that says children under five aren't allowed on the main court — then they should be allowed in, saying that the crying child was allowed in in the first place. 'I know in Wimbledon, they have rules where children under five are not allowed on the main court, [but] in this situation, children were allowed in. So I'm of the opinion that it's not the mother's fault or the child's fault, or the father's fault, it's the organiser's fault.' Gerard went on to say that circumstances also played a role in perhaps why the child was brought to the tournament in the first place, hypothesising 'the mother might have had no help, she loves tennis, wanted to go to the match.' Pic: Ireland AM/Instagram Ireland AM presenter Tommy Bowe, himself a father of two, said that surely a parent could leave to settle the child if they began crying, adding that something like that is 'like what you'd do at a funeral, or a wedding, at mass,' with Gerard saying that a stadium is different as it's a long way in and out. Gerard did point out that he wouldn't bring his kids to a city centre restaurant, opting instead for something with music and high chairs, but Tommy wasn't sure if a tennis match was the most appropriate place — wondering if it was wise to bring a child that may very well cry during a sport 'where you know you're meant to be quiet.' 'Let's say for example you really wanted to go to the tennis,' Gerard countered, with Tommy immediately responding, 'I would try and find a babysitter.' Gerard then asked what if the babysitter let him down last minute, with Tommy bluntly responding, 'I wouldn't go.' Emma Raducanu complained to an umpire about a crying baby during her set at the Cincinnati Open. Pic:'As a parent, I would know that it would be too stressful for me to take my child in there to be put in that situation. So I'd decide, no, I don't think it's worth upsetting the other people who are watching it and me being put under the stress of doing it. I'll watch it on the telly.' People were divided in the comments of the debate, with one commenting, 'I'm with Tommy Bowe on this one. Being a parent is also thinking about the kids' needs. It's not fitting to go to a tennis match for them. Go when they are 10 and interested in going. We have to respect the players we are going to see too.' 'It all depends on the circumstances, in this case, a tennis match is a definite no as the players are concentrating on their game and need concentration, not listening to a child being fussy,' another commented. Others understood where Gerard was coming from, with one commenting, 'Disappointed in these comments. No compassion for that mom. Gerard Jordan is just trying to inspire people to put themselves in someone else's shoes for two seconds but y'all can't even do that,' while another added 'if children/babies are a distraction rather than causing upset to the parent, make it a point & place of Children Not allowed. If children are allowed, at least accommodate them with child-friendly facilities.' Tommy and his wife Lucy share two kids together, daughter Emma, seven, and son Jamie, four.
