‘Shadow army’ of redheads keep foxy gene alive in Europe
As part of the Irish Redhead Convention taking place in Crosshaven in Cork from Aug 23 to 25, research will be put forward showing a new era of redheads could be unleashed, as large numbers of people across north-west Europe are carriers of the redhead gene.
The managing director of IrelandsDNA, Alistair Moffat, explained the study was carried out to try and understand why couples that don’t have red hair produce children with red hair.
