The excitement is building as the 22nd of May approaches.

No only are DIS thrilled to have heartthrob Dáithí Ó Sé as MC at this year’s Rose of Dubai ball, we are also delighted to announce that the 2008 Rose of Tralee Aoife Kelly has arrived in Dubai for the event. Although she’s attended many selection events over the last few months, this is her first international selection ball and we are privileged to have her as our guest.

We would also like to extend an invite to you to come and meet Aoife between 4-6pm at The Big Weekend, The Irish Village on Friday 15th May. Get your photo taken and pick up a signed copy of this year’s Dubai Irish Society Year Book!

While you’re there, why not buy your Rose Ball ticket from Rachel Barrett (050 5535965). Rachel, the 2005 Dubai Rose, will be in the Irish Village from 4-7pm.
