Today, Massachusetts Congressman and University of Massachusetts Amherst Professor Richard Neal skipped out on class, The Politician and the Journalist, with a valid excuse.
Congressman Neal departed for Ireland as a part of the congressional delegation traveling to Dublin, Belfast, and London.
As the Boston Globe also reported today, the trip comes at a critical juncture in Northern Ireland's peace process. Protestant and Catholic leaders recently announced a power-sharing deal in hopes of ending decades of hostility.
Another "on-the-go" Massachusetts Congressman mentioned in today's Globe was North Shore native John Tierney. Tierney will be traveling to the Mid-East where he will speak with government officials on terrorism , specifically in the countries of Afghanistan and Pakistan.
