The Last Word with Matt Cooper
The Rose of Tralee is back for another year. But after six decades, is it even relevant? Dáithí Ó Sé, who is celebrating his 10th year as Rose of Tralee host, has described the festival as a "sisterhood" which is empowering for women. "I think those real heartwarming stories behind the whole thing, and to get up in front of the whole nation and tell them, I think can be very empowering," he said in an interview to mark the launch. Is he right? Or is the Rose of Tralee simply an outdated 'Lovely Girls' competition? And if it is the latter, why are we still watching it? Alison Healy and Joe O'Shea debated this in our weekly TV slot. They also discussed RTÉ's cancellation of Brendan O'Connor's popular Cutting Edge show, Apple TV's new series The Morning Show (reportedly one of the most expensive TV shows ever) and Channel 4's controversial documentary How To Train Your Baby Like A Dog.
