A contestant in this year’s Rose of Tralee competition has told how she is taking part to honour her late brother who died tragically.
Aoife de Buitléir (28), a mental health nurse from Wexford, will represent Sydney having lived in the Australian city since 2019. She has revealed she is travelling to take part to honour her older sibling Matthew, who took his own life in Sydney seven years ago.
Matthew had emigrated to Sydney some years previously and was the inspiration behind Aoife’s decision to move there.
