Belfast … and Eurovision

I’ve been in Belfast the last couple of days with the ‘day job’ – the photo (right) was taken at the George Best City Airport this afternoon.    A really enjoyable visit and coming after the Institute I work for having its International Conference earlier this week in Dublin.    So, with a dodgy link, [...]
