Redhead alert as Kiwi targets title

A flame-haired Kiwi whose community fundraised for her airfare to attend Ireland’s biggest festival of foxiness has set her sights on the ‘Queen of the Redheads’ title.

Ashley Mackenzie-White, 28, from Dunedin in New Zealand, who chairs the New Zealand Rose of Tralee organising committee, is due to jet in to Ireland this week with New Zealand Rose, Lisa Bazalo, for next week’s Rose of Tralee International Festival.

However, Ashley herself will be focusing on the Irish Redhead Convention in Co Cork, later this month.
