He's lucky to be going home hale and hearty. Far luckier than the American boy who went home from North Korea in a coma. The question of what he was doing there, involved in political demonstration as an Irish citizen does loom a bit. Seems incredibly foolish to choose Egypt to exercise an urge to protest.

With regard the suffragettes they were fighting for freedoms within their own country. As an Irishman wasn't this guy meddling in the politics of another country? That is courting danger.
