Did you ever hear the story of the Irishman who became the Prime Minister of Spain, or the Cork women who separately became Queens of Morocco and Paraguay?

What about the tales of Carlos McCarthy or Alejandro O'Reilly?

A new podcast, 'We The Irish', is taking a look at the history you might not have been taught in school and mostly, at some amazing Irish people who ascended Royal families and parliaments.

Perfect for those pesky Zoom quizzes!
