It was great to hit New York for the weekend a few weeks back and all for a good cause too. Being stuck in studio in Cork 4 days a week didn’t make it easy, especially when the Sunday night flights gets into to Shannon at 7am and we are in the office at 9. I couldn’t wait for the show to finish that evening; I was halfway to my bed before the credits were off the screen.

As you may know the Aisling Irish Centre invited me over to host The Bachelor of New York 2013 and what a night it was. I hadn’t been in Gaelic Park in years. It was like the Hillgrove night club in Dingle on a bank holiday weekend, the place was packed and people were there from all over Ireland.

Daithi O Se the host of the Bachelors of the Year in the Bronx and the Rose of Tralee


I find it very hard to plan anything these days, being exiled in Cork for the winter might be having that effect on me or maybe it’s the time of year.

So when I was asked to launch the Rose of Tralee festival last week I didn’t know where to look or what month I was!

Rose of Tralee winner Nicola McEvoy

A few days holidays after a few days work - that sounds good to me! As I told you, last week the Rose of Tralee is a marathon and every year I’m a good boy while the festival is on and I’m happy to do so.

My wife, who doesn’t drink, has a great week catching up with her friends, friends she meets only once a year. She stays out of the wee hours. I’m a little jealous because I’m locked away in my hotel room, it’s not that bad though as I was building brownie points and will be cashing them in shortly.

We had some great American and Canadian Roses this year. Anne Marie Lynch wore the New York sash and I have to say she was great. A young lady who was born in NY, raised in Cavan she now finds herself back in the states with her family.

In 1932, De Valera took the oath, but said that it was only a ‘symbol,’ only a piece of paper. One might ask what would have happened if he had taken it the first day, ach sin scéal eile (that’s another story). De Valera did pretty well as we know after that and the rest is actual history. So, did McGuinness do the same as De Valera? He might have! Will he like De Valera go on to be Úachtarán na hÉireann (President of Ireland)?
