Deaglán de Bréadún writes a column in today's Irish Times on changes taking place in Iran.
Two weeks ago he was among a delegation of Irish journalists who visited the Islamic Republic of Iran.
The group of four, including Juno McEnroe from the Irish Examiner, visited the Irish Dominican Priory, St Abraham's in Tehran.
The group was greatly impressed with their visit and their official guide assured them of the excellent Farsi spoken by Irish Dominican, Paul Lawlor.
Paul's nephew is actor Tom Vaughan Lawlor AKA Nidge.
