The Clare Herald has an extensive profile not only of Danielle, but on the links between Arizona and Ennis, the county town of Clare.

No Snakes in Australia?

The Carlton Hotel are one of the sponsors of the Festival - taking care of many of the Rose needs. Earlier in the week the Roses visited Dublin Zoo.

It was there that Bridget O'Connor, the 2010 South Australia Rose, came face to face with Brian the snake. She screamed and screamed, according to the Carlton website! Surely there are more dangerous snakes and spiders in Australia. Maybe not.
