<\/a> Se\u00e1n O Regan, Irish Ambassador in Cairo. <\/strong>Each week, My Morning Routine looks at how a successful member of the community starts their day \u2014 and then throws in a couple of random business questions just for fun. Speaking to us this week is Se\u00e1n O Regan (LinkedIn<\/a>), the Irish Ambassador in Cairo. Edited excerpts from our conversation:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m Se\u00e1n O Regan<\/strong> and I\u2019m the Irish Ambassador in Cairo. <\/strong>I\u2019ve been here for just over four years and it\u2019s my second ambassadorial posting. I\u2019ve also had postings in Finland, Turkey, China and Slovenia since working at the Department of Foreign Affairs. My background is in science, and I started my career in that field before returning to university to do an MBA and taking the civil service exam.<\/p>\n

In many ways, my job is my hobby.<\/strong> I\u2019d always been interested in politics, but not electoral politics. And while this job has a little bit of everything, what interests me most is the political analysis \u2014 which is very much about understanding people and what motivates them. Someone once told me my job is to make friends for my country, which is so true \u2014 whether it\u2019s at the Foreign Ministry, in Chambers of Commerce, or in the arts.<\/p>\n

Egypt and Ireland have a long history of converging policy objectives. <\/strong>Even before either country was independent, we sought to cooperate with the Egyptian delegation at the Treaty of Versailles<\/a> negotiations. And there was quite a lot of contact between the Irish and Egyptian independence movements. Nowadays, we work closely together on foreign policy issues like the Middle East peace process, and peacekeeping generally. We established our embassy here in the 1970s.<\/p>\n

Our trade relationship with Egypt is good, but could be better.<\/strong> Most of the food that Ireland used to export here, like meat, has become too expensive \u2014 in part<\/sup> as it\u2019s produced through sustainable agriculture \u2014 for many Egyptian consumers. We do export quite a lot of dairy products, though you might not see them on shelves as they\u2019re sold as commodities.<\/p>\n

Now, much of our trade with Egypt consists of services.<\/strong> Virtually<\/sup> all \u201cmade on the internet\u201d companies like Google and Facebook have their Europe or MENA headquarters in Ireland. Many Egyptians living in Ireland work for those companies. Likewise for pharma companies, and we\u2019ve got a very strong fintech sector \u2014 several Egyptian banks use Irish fintech products.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re hoping that EgyptAir will launch a direct flight to Ireland in the not too distant future \u2014 <\/strong>which would also make a big difference to the trade relationship.<\/p>\n

My working day typically starts around 8:30am, reading the papers<\/strong> \u2014 with Enterprise second on my list, after the Irish Times. <\/strong>Then it\u2019s the New York Times, the Economist, and various press summaries provided by the EU and other organizations. It generally takes me an hour to get through everything. I often hold meetings in the morning, and do my report reading and any writing in the afternoon.<\/p>\n

Obviously, working lunches and dinners are a big part of this life, and tend to take place two or three times a week.<\/strong> It all sounds very social and glamorous \u2014 and a lot of it is \u2014 but of course it\u2019s work too.<\/p>\n

We did work from home during the height of covid, but now we\u2019re pretty much full-time back in the office. <\/strong>Both have their challenges \u2014 especially when it comes to keeping people motivated during a really difficult period. I think that\u2019s something that all organizations, large and small, have faced. The next challenge will be making sure people continue to practice safe behavior back in the office.<\/p>\n

Outside of work, I enjoy reading, walking, and watching good films.<\/strong> During the pandemic, I also started playing golf regularly. Reading is important to me, and I like fiction, though I probably read more biographies and political history. My other big love is rugby.<\/p>\n

I love the serenity of the desert. <\/strong>There isn\u2019t necessarily one particular part I like more than any other. I just love it all. I also feel the same way about Siwa, which I\u2019ve visited several times.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m currently reading several interesting books:<\/strong> My current fiction book is \u201cA Traveller at the Gates of Wisdom\u201d<\/a> by John Boyne. My current non-fiction is \u201cThe Islamic Enlightenment\u201d<\/a> by Chris de Bellaigue. My most recent Egyptian book was \u201cOtared\u201d<\/a> by Mohammed Rabie.<\/p>\n

A fascinating 1920 book called <\/strong>\u201cAn Egyptian in Ireland\u201d<\/a><\/strong> gives some insights into the Ireland-Egypt relationship.<\/strong> It tells the story of a young man, Ibrahim Rashad, who went to Ireland to study economics. He wrote a wonderful book about the history of the Irish cooperative<\/a><\/sup><\/a>society<\/a><\/sup>movement<\/a>, arguing it was something Egypt should adopt in its own development.<\/p>\n

People may be interested to know that Halloween is Irish, and holds an important place in Irish culture. <\/strong>The modern-day celebration of Halloween is derived from the ancient holiday of Samhain<\/a>, which marked the transition from autumn to winter. Some call it the Celtic new year. Traditionally, it was a time when the veils separating past, present and future became thin, which people believed allowed them to commune with their ancestors and predict the future. The feast became associated with fortune telling and visiting. People carved skulls<\/a><\/sup>out of turnips<\/a> to frighten away roaming spirits, and keep their houses safe.<\/p>\n

The history of Halloween is in some ways the history of the Irish diaspora.<\/strong> Irish emigrants took the holiday to the US, but some of the stuff Americans think of as Halloween doesn\u2019t resonate with us at all \u2014 particularly when it comes to the horror and gore.<\/p>\n

In Ireland, our celebrations don\u2019t have the excesses of Hollywood but do retain all the mystery and fun. <\/strong>Starting last<\/sup> Sunday and running until Halloween itself, there\u2019s a Halloween festival in Dublin, with events like ghostly tours of the city. Bram Stoker was Irish, so the Dracula story gets told a lot. We celebrate with traditional children\u2019s games, like bobbing for apples. We might also eat special food, like barmbrack<\/a> \u2014 Irish fruit bread that traditionally has various objects baked in as part of a fortune-telling game. Dressing up is important \u2014 especially for children, who would traditionally perform a song or dance in exchange for sweets or an apple.<\/p>\n

Will I be celebrating Halloween in Cairo? Of course.<\/strong> We have a Halloween celebration at the embassy every year. This year, we\u2019re undergoing some repairs \u2014 so for once I\u2019ll be going to someone else\u2019s party.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
