The Roses are here today! A bus load of Roses will arrive in Leitrim today for a two day tour of the county.

Today, Tuesday 16 the Roses will visit Acres Lake Drumshanbo at 2.30pm - everyone is invited to meet the Roses including our own Leitrim Rose Saoirse Gibbons. 

Saoirse, who attends the University of Ireland Galway studying Drama, Theatre and Performance with Gaeilge and is a proud Leitrim woman, is delighted to have been chosen to represent her county,  cannot wait to show everyone her beautiful county and all it had to offer. Saoirse is sponsored by The Shed Distillery, Drumshanbo.
