The Rose Of Tralee has been cancelled. Every cloud and all that.....
Yea, but it's such an anachronistic sexist cringefest it's worth it to see it gone, even for one year.Probably not a view shared by the hoteliers, publicans and others in the Kerry tourist industry who will take a €10 million hit from this cancellation...

Its continued and growing popularity would suggest your views are not unanimously shared.
I am shocked that my view is not shared by everyone. What is the world coming to?
But hey lets celebrate a contest that isn't a beauty contest but bans married women and it is only 10 years since they allowed single mothers.....Ah yes it is indeed a celebration of modern Ireland. Sure didn't they have a gay winner. Well only after she won was it revealed that she was gay. She didn't mention it before hand. I wonder why??? I think Father Ted was pretty much spot on.
Anyway, this thread is going down an unexpected rabbit hole on the Rose of Tralee. I am sorry for your loss. I am sure it will be back next year so you can admire the lovely girls......
The last thing to be re-opened/ allowed will be festivals, concerts, sporting events and other mass gatherings.I've never been to the Rose of Tralee or even watched it on the TV.
I don't have an opinion on it either way but I have great sympathy for the many people in Kerry whose livelihoods will be badly affected by this cancellation.
The tourist sector is a key part of the Irish economy and annual festivals like this will play a vital role in the country's recovery when this is all over.

Brilliant!I don't know if this qualifies as a Coronavirus Good Story. Mods, feel free to delete if not.
Mrs Lep was always good at baking cakes for birthdays in the shape of Goldilocks, Sleeping Beauty, Denis the Menace, Thomas the Tank Engine, Cork Hurling Jersey and lots more, Since retiring I cottoned onto the cooking/baking and now give a hand. One of our grandchildren has a birthday tomorrow. I baked the cake and coated it with butter icing. Not a bad effort from me. My grandson wanted to be surprised at whatever shape I chose for the cake. The cake is fully iced and is in the shape and colours of the corona virus. I don't know if I'll be the best grandfather in the world or shot by this time tomorrow!
