Now THAT was an egregious error on my part. Though in my defence, Ireland has embraced the revival of its indigenous language with more vigor than NZ, making it seem more Irish, and a bit less militantly English. If the NZ Head of State and/or Government were to be given Māori titles the was Ireland has given its Irish ones, the howls of outrage would be heard from Dublin.
