Hazel Chu using 'different' to her advantage in Lord Mayor role

Politics didn't feature in Lord Mayor Hazel Chu's household so she credits her husband Patrick Costello for her introduction to public service.

When the new Lord Mayor of Dublin Hazel Chu is asked to sum up her role, she replies: "Surreal."

The Green Party councillor is the eighth woman, and first person of colour, to hold the role and says she will be using the fact she's "different" to her advantage.
