Since 2015, in collaboration with staff from Harvard University, I host an annual visit of mid ranking leaders and diplomats from the Middle East to explore lessons from the Irish peace process.. This below the radar programme which aims to further negotiation and dialogue capacity in the Middle East. The visits receive funding and support from the Irish DFA. Participants in the group are senior civil servants and Government officials who are mostly directors and heads of divisions such as Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, military, leading Law Firms, District Attorney Office, Negotiation Departments, leading political parties, security agencies, and Civil Police. There are also international diplomatic fellows who are Deputy Heads of Mission and Heads of Political Departments of Embassies and Consulates of countries like Jordan, U.S., UK, Egypt, Germany,Russia,Sweden and India. Having visited Northern Ireland, they then visit Maynooth where they receive the perspective of Irish Civil Servants and public officials (retired and serving) on the Irish peace process. |
