New MLC looks to diversify Council

Kate Lord-Brennan one of five women voted on

A new MLC admits she's "slightly stunned" to have been elected.

Businesswoman Kate Lord-Brennan was one of five women voted on to the council this morning.

The whole process - which has in the past dragged on for several weeks - took just 15 minutes, something which speaker of the Keys Juan Watterson has called "unheard of"

Mrs Lord-Brennan says she was never taking anything for granted  and believes she will help diversify the make-up of LegCo.
