Jim Lyons

We had the pleasure of meeting Jim Lyons and listening to a presentation on Ireland.

Unfortunately I arrived late because of an car accident. However I did catch the last part of his presentation.

His presentation made me very excited to be in Ireland in person and to see the characteristics that make Ireland, Ireland. His work with the Clinton administration, Ireland, and Denver was absolutely impressive. He boasted about the culture, friendliness, and talkative sides of Ireland.

Learning more about Northern Ireland and tensions within the government was fascinating, especially the differences between Northern Ireland and the United Republic of Ireland. Seeing the commitment he has for Ireland and the modesty in his words was very powerful. Additionally for his years of experience working as a leader and diplomat- I found him to be an excellent speaker.
