14-18 December 2025: I visited Boston, USA for The Irish Institute of Boston College 'Quiet Dialogues' series. The event provided a space for constructive reflection and dialogue by hosting senior Northern Ireland and Ireland party figures, civil servants and stakeholders, and included contributions from local US experts. The total cost of the trip, including travel, accommodation and hospitality, was covered by the Irish Institute of Boston College at a cost of US$1781.22
