I see in Breffni O’Reilly’s column in the Cavan Echo that the Sligo Rose has been disqualified because she is too old.

I am also someone who finds the Rose of Tralee pageant a cringe-producing charivari of stage Irishness.

With regard to regulations on the contestants one thing I want to know is do the organisers still insist on the girls passing a virginity test?
