Richard Pena & Nanda Journeys cordially invites you to join him on the customized and unique Rule of Law and Road to Peace delegation to Ireland. Visit Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland and marvel at the beauty of the Emerald Isle and warm welcome of its people.

Richard writes "I hope you will consider coming with us on this unforgettable delegation to Ireland. The itinerary has been carefully crafted to meet two goals.

- One goal is to learn about these two separate countries and, the conflicts they have endured and how they now work together. We will delve into Ireland's history, the violent conflict known as the Troubles which began in the 1960‘s and mostly took place in Northern Ireland. Areas of discussion will include the Good Friday Agreement, the roles of the IRA (Irish Republican Army) and the British security forces such as the British Army. The numerous cease fires and agreements will be discussed as will Bloody Sunday, Downing Street mortar attack, the political process, and the Shoot to Kill allegations. We will meet with participants of the bloody conflict and with policy makers and current leaders in Ireland. We will hear of the uneasy peace between the two countries and how both sides are committed to making the peace work.

There is much that American lawyers and their guest can learn from the Irish experience and from their people. The lawyers will view the Peace Process and the reluctant participants as a series of high stakes mediations. They accomplished what many said could not be done. As a result Ireland is the winner as the fighting has ceased.

- The second goal is for the delegates and guest to experience the cultural beauties and magic of Ireland and to interact with the Irish people. Ireland is known as the Emerald Isle because of its marvelous views and its vibrant cities and majestic countryside. We will, of course, be exposed to things Ireland is famous for such as: the castles, the shades of green, Irish coffee, shamrocks, and Irish Whiskey, and of course Guinness!

The time has been allocated so the delegates and their guest can enjoy experiencing both of these goals. In our travels through Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland we will see firsthand the charm of Ireland and of its people.

Please come an join me in Ireland to experience the journey of a lifetime where you are sure to make new friends, broaden your professional network, and have stories to tell forever more".
