Erbil Kurdistan Iraq folks. Mango smoothie 🥤... The cornerstone of every nutritious breakfast 😉 Some very interesting stuff coming up during October, mainly in Baghdad but Sulymaniyah too. More about that later. For now this smoothie has my full attention 😅🇮🇶🇮🇪🌞

Baghdad Iraq folks 🇮🇪🇮🇶

Good morning from Erbil Kurdistan Iraq folks 5am start for yours truly as I'm off to Baghdad for a day trip... Of sorts 😉 I'm bringing 'the suit', I repeat, I'm bringing 'the suit' 😅 'I'm on the road again 🎶'

Good morning from Erbil Kurdistan Iraq folks. Extremely busy days over here. Meeting after meeting, travel plans developing which will bring me to Sulymaniyah, Baghdad and possibly Damascus too. More on this as it develops. 🙏 #peace

Erbil Kurdistan Iraq folks. I like this city .. a lot ♥️

Happy Iraq Independence Day to all my Iraqi friends 🇮🇶♥️🇮🇪

Erbil Kurdistan Iraq. Time break open this big boy! Full day of PhD stuff so need some flavour of home to help me out here. 😂

Erbil Kurdistan Iraq folks. I'm back.

On the flight to Istanbul and who is sitting beside me but a guy from the metropolis that is Tinahely Wicklow Ireland 🇮🇪 You couldn't make this up 😂

'Im on the road again 🎶' After three weeks back in lovely Ireland I have to return to Iraq. Three intense weeks packed with some great times with my boys and family and also a couple of very important meetings. Fingers crossed 🤞 for the next couple of months 🙏🇮🇪🇮🇶🇸🇾

Last sunset of the autumn in lovely Tinahely Wicklow Ireland... Heading to Dublin tomorrow and then start the flight back to Iraq, via Istanbul, on Thursday. Another two+ months before I return 🥹

The USA is in their age of ignorance. History will not be kind to these dangerous dunces.

Took this little snippet of video in the Green Isle hotel in Dublin Ireland a couple of days ago. Lots of singing and dancing and laughing. Great craic was had. You wouldn't guess what the party was held for... (Hint at the bottom right hand side) 🥳😂

Tinahely Wicklow Ireland. Just a few more days home before I return to Iraq and right now I'm summarising in a report the crazy and amazing progress we have made with regards to trade and cultural opportunities between Ireland Iraq and Kurdistan. More about that later... 🇮🇪💚

Putin is laughing at us...

Everyone, remember when you decry the possible loss of human rights for women around the world you're just highlighting the fact that you are completely ignoring Afghanistan. #Afghanistan #HalfACountry

Yours truly and John Lahart, Chair of the Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade for Ireland. While the Arab Irish Summit revolved around the usual middle east mega economies I'm confident that we've got attention for Iraq and Kurdistan. 😉 #Ireland #Iraq #Kurdistan #business

#ArabIrishSummit Neale Richmond, Ireland minister of state international development and diaspora, delivering a keynote speech focused on trade but also a very strong position of support for Palestine. 🙏❤️ #Ireland #Iraq #Syria #Palestine 🇮🇪🇮🇶🇸🇾 #mena #development

#ArabIrishSummit Busy business development day ahead between Ireland and the Arab world. Of course my specific focus is Iraq and Syria. Good news doesn't make the news... But this should. #MakingHistory 🇮🇪🇮🇶🇸🇾

'In Dublin's fair city Where the girls are so pretty... ' 🎶 Have had the usual 'Will week'. Absolutely crazy busy, bouncing around from one side of Ireland to t'other. But tonight I'm home home. Dublin The Arab Irish Summit is on tomorrow morning so need to be here tonight

Tinahely Wicklow Ireland 🇮🇪 Me and the boys went to the Farm Shop, as it's known, and with the torrential rain pouring down it was the perfect place to go to let these spinning tops burn off some energy 😂

As I said: Fox news wants to eliminate homeless people. But if you call them Nazis they'll feel sad. 🙄

Tinahely Wicklow Ireland. Five boys. Three sons. Three generations. Two Maradona Argentina shirts. One grandson. There's a lot going on in one family photo. 😁🇮🇪💚

No winners here...

Railway walk Tinahely Wicklow Ireland. This is my place. My happy place. When I need to clear my mind this is where I come. And there's a lot of clearing to do. But good clearing. 😉 💚🍀🇮🇪

You couldn't make this up...

I see that St Elon of Musk is pushing for a civil war in the USA that he will have no actual intention of fighting in. His concern for Americans dying on a battlefield only extends to Ukraine and not to Utah... 🙄

This is not the way. Two American politicians were murdered earlier this year and now this. Where will this end?

Ukraine 🇺🇦 and Europe 🇪🇺 is very very lucky that the Ukrainian government didn't wait 48 hours after the Russian Empire attacked in 2022 before formulating their response. 🙄

While I'm home in lovely Ireland 🇮🇪 our business back in Kurdistan and Iraq continues to develop at a fierce rate. After a year of development, reaccreditation and explaining my mad idea to everyone and anyone who would listen, progress has been made 🙏

Tinahely Wicklow Ireland 🇮🇪 I'm only home for three weeks this time as I need to return to Iraq for business purposes but I take advantage of every moment with my boys. Tomnafinnoge woods. One of Ireland's ancient rainforests. We love our time together here 🥹💚

Twas only a matter of time before Putin made one attack too many on a NATO country. Obviously the USA will not support Poland. Similar to 1945. Only took Poland nearly half a century to get over that treachery. Same as it ever was...

Railway walk, Tinahely Wicklow Ireland 🇮🇪💚 My paradise 💓

We went to the circus 🎪 tonight! The boys loved it! 😁 Feed them and keep them alive. That's my job description 😅 So far so good. Tinahely Wicklow Ireland folks.

Tomnafinnoge woods, near the metropolis that is Tinahely Wicklow Ireland. Ireland's ancient rainforest. After the droughtiest drought since records began the wee river Derry is struggling to be anything more than a stream. Still she's looking great 😉😁

'the boys are back in town... 🎶❤️' After two long months me and my boys are together again. A weekend of shamrocks and shenanigans await us 😅 #home

Frankfurt Germany. Waiting to board the last connection to Dublin and got talking to a fellow Dubliner. He's returning from Argentina and yours truly from Iraq. He's done multiple volunteering gigs for Palestine over the last ten years or so. Decent man. My tribe. 🇮🇪💚

Little fluffy clouds... 🎶 Coming in to land at Frankfurt Germany. Another 7 hours layover here and then my last flight.. to Dublin Ireland. And I can see my boys again 🥹❤️🇮🇪

'Celebrate, this party's over, I'm going home... 🎶' 😉😄 Iraq - Austria - Germany - Ireland. 🇮🇶🇦🇹🇩🇪🇮🇪 After the usual madness that is life here in Kurdistan and Iraq it's homeward bound I am.

Erbil Kurdistan Iraq folks. One last time here for three weeks. Because I'm going home today. Or should I say I'm leaving Erbil today and will arrive home into Dublin town tomorrow afternoon, via Vienna and Frankfurt. I'm going home folks... 🥹

Dr Serwan, Dean of the Engineering faculty of the University of Sulaimani, Kurdistan Iraq, signed an MOU with the Emergency Logistics Team to deliver internationally accredited Supply Chain training for the very first time. A first for all of us. A significant moment. 🙏

As I look out at this vista here in Erbil Kurdistan Iraq I can't quite believe that I am just about to start year 2 of my Doctorate in Engineering, faculty of Science and Engineering with the University of Limerick. But here I am. @unioflimerick.bsky.social
