The Perth Rose

We met the Perth entrant to this year's Rose of Tralee Festival at the Breakwater restaurant in Hilary's boat harbour. She is Aisling Reid, originally from Co. Wexford, whose parents own the restaurant. She is an occupational therapist who helps out as a waitress in the restaurant. Goodluck Aisling!
