DESCRIPTION:This week our speaker is Grainne Moss  CEO Ministry of Regulati
 on and Ocean Swimmer  Born in Northern Ireland and now living in New Zeala
 nd\, Gráinne Moss captured the attention of the world in 1987\, becoming 
 the first Irish woman to swim the English Channel\, at just 17 years of ag
 e. Moss’s story is one of resilience\, endurance\, and achievement\, bot
 h as a swimmer and in public life. Moss’s achievements in 1987 heralded 
 the start of a truly remarkable open-water journey. From victories in Irel
 and’s open-water championships and the ‘Irish Triple Crown’\, Moss h
 as broken records and pushed the boundaries on what Irish swimmers can ach
 ieve. Her accolades are not confined to Irish waters\, either. In 2001\, M
 oss became the first Irish swimmer to swim the notorious Cook Strait betwe
 en New Zealand’s North and South Islands\, as well as conquering many ot
 her well known channels. Since calling New Zealand home\, Moss has built a
  career as one of the country’s most senior public servants. The same qu
 alities that carry her through bitterly cold seas have shaped her leadersh
 ip on land: endurance\, clarity of purpose and a willingness to take on ch
 allenges. Please register yourself and any guests for next week's meeting
