Identity

It would appear that there is no such thing as an Irish National Identity anymore,
At least not according to the winner of the Rose of Tralee

I read through that and i dont see the word identity anywhere. What are you on about?

maccored

where did she say that?

Sonics2k

It's been done.

Also the theme of your threads are getting really, really predictable.

"But at the end of the day we need to see past that and realise there is no 'typical Irish woman'. We're all different and we all come in all shapes and sizes and skin colours and hair and freckles/no freckles. We're such a diverse community, and we need to embrace that."

This is the statement she made. There is literally nothing wrong with this. Not one tiny thing.

I presume this is going to turn into another "i dont like dem furriners" thread.

You think we should conform to national traditions and characteristics instead of being free individuals? Yeah....

If she is proud of Zambian roots, fair play to her. We can all be proud of our roots.

So are you outraged or not at something you didn’t read and made up in your head? You have me confused!

Interesting question or maybe ideal curiosity why do they target boards for getting their message 'out there'

They have also colonised the journal comments section along with a group which comment with bizarre creepy comments about gay people, or perhaps they are a few individuals with multiple personalities or one individual with a combined fixation on Irish identity/ conspiracy theories and anti-gay drivel.

Nobody in real life listens to them.

I believe it's their idea of taking on the "liberal controlled media". Y'know, ignoring the fact they open the most threads on AH.

Yup, the lefties are running this site with their liberal agenda.

Despite the fact every second or third thread in AH is started by a "righty"

On Reddit it gets downvoted and they tag agenda spammrs, which doesn't work here so it's much easier to keep your topics on the front pages

I didn’t watch the show. Can anybody confirm the rumour that the Waterford Rose does indeed possess a lovely bottom?

Wonder do they compliment each other's bottoms in the changing room?

A very worthy winner. Stunning and so sweet. And probably the most gracious one too given she seemed so overwhelmed. On a separate note does anyone know why she was representing Waterford when she's from Kilkenny? Does she maybe live in a town bordering Waterford?

Maybe its the only way Waterford will win a national competition? Even international

I was actually just wondering that myself. Her mother is a Waterford woman and she lives there too. Presumably that's enough to meet the eligibility requirements.

Apparently, four of the Roses this year were from Donegal.

She is from the village of Mullinavat co Kilkenny.
About 5-6km from the border of Kilkenny/Waterford.

She works in a clothes shop in Tramore Co. Waterford.
