Open to Question..with Robert Baer, Rose escort
WE may not have an official Rose of Tralee entry but Limerick does have an official escort. Robert Baer, Kilmallock will represent the city and county in Tralee during festival week from August 21 to 29.
His Rose hasn't been decided yet but whoever she is, she'll be a lucky girl. Robert has a Business and Law degree from UL and is currently studying for his Blackhall exams. The 25 year-old loves rugby and is a big fan of John Hayes.
