Limerick’s newly appointed Deputy Lord Mayor of Limerick has been announced as Azad Talukdar.
The Bangladeshi man is a member of Fianna Fail and believed to be the first Muslim to hold the position.
For his part, the Fianna Fail man is understood will try and help migrants get housed in Ireland’s fourth largest city.
As the demographics of Ireland continue to rapidly shift due to open borders and mass migration, it is likely that foreign nationals from diverse ethnic backgrounds will take up positions of power as political parties attempt to score diversity points.
