Despite the smoky sky (thoughts with all those affected by the wild fires across the country right now) it’s really quite the send off when you depart out of Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport - city skyline looking good- only one or two cranes too in this shot!! #Toronto

Full house at Open Banking Expo in Toronto ! Excited to talk about all things Open Banking today - and to discuss Northern Ireland's strengths in technology and financial services- UK also a leader in Open Banking #OBExpo #Toronto

Fascinating discussion about the state of play in Canada Open Banking- some great takes from leaders at RBC TD (Canada) EQ Bank Symcor - particularly enjoyed the line from EQ's Mahima Poddar 'hurry up and wait' mode in Canada - a Canadian dance for consensus perhaps?! #OBExpo

Very enjoyable and thoughtful Small business panel at Open Banking Expo earlier this afternoon - lots to chew on here - but holistically there's some cool 😎 companies and people driving some great ideas, services and solutions (Even the big banks...) we just need to move! #OBExpo

Devastated but filled with pride 💚

Absolutely gutted as fan - but we are lucky to have had players like Jonny - Irelands greatest 10 - and what a whirlwind we have been on - it wasn’t meant to be in Paris - and it was heartbreaking 💔 but I bloody love this team 🇮🇪☘️ we’ll go again! #IrishRugby
