Presented by Alice Paul
This week, Alice is joined by guest Trevor Mallard, who has been appointed as New Zealand’s new Ambassador to Ireland starting in January 2023.
Stuff- In August Mallard resigned as Parliament’s Speaker, ending a near four decades long parliamentary career. A polarising Speaker, a longstanding electorate MP for Hutt South, and a Labour minister of education and sports, he was the longest serving MP in the House. https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/128957349/trevor-mallard-a-political-battler-turned-parliamentary-referee
Mr Mallard came into Capital Irish for a chat with Alice Paul about his new appointment and his obvious grá for Ireland came through loud and clear.
This program was also broadcast on Wellington Access Radio with the support of New Zealand on Air.
Capital Irish has been making programs for the Irish Community in Wellington, New Zealand since 2003.
