The Rt Hon. The Lord Mayor, Alderman William Russell has been confirmed as the Irish Society’s Governor for the next three years – although past Governor, Alderman Sir Andrew Parmley, has offered to step into the role when Mayoral duties cause a clash of demands on his time. Deputy Wendy Hyde also now takes the reins as Deputy Governor for a two year term. And Deputy Edward Lord joins as a Trustee for a three year term.
