Hi Baz

Having both grew up in close proximity to each other, we both experienced life in a limited capacity in Dublin. It's always a pleasure to expand your horizon and see what's happening out there.

My ex wife did development studies and worked as International Student Officer in Griffith College Dublin. Both of us had a keen interest in understanding other cultures from around the world. Ireland is relatively young with regards to world cultures and I for one am glad to welcome those from afar into my home of Dublin.

Our daughter has Autism and her differences need to be respected and understood. As she has grown, our own acceptance of others has also grown (not without its difficulties lol).

I am also proud to share with my friends and colleagues my apparent wisdom of all I have read in Proximities for some time now. I do, of course, give due credit to Barry for bringing so many key issues and stories to my attention.

Go Raibh Maith Agat πŸ’šπŸ€πŸ’š

"Baz" is something I haven't been called in many years : )

So nice to hear from you Karl and get an update on what you're up to. The people who've moved to Ireland from all over the world in the last couple of decades have enriched the country so much. I always enjoy seeing the positive changes when I visit home.

Thanks for reading and for this message, and glad Proximities helps you sound wise! haha.

TΓ‘ fΓ‘ilte romhat.

Baz.
