Halawa: I’m back into a new world

Ibrahim Halawa yesterday arrived home to Ireland and a hundred thousand welcomes — and several new family members.

“The minute when I was on the plane and I saw the green land, it’s so green, it’s so beautiful. I haven’t seen the green in so long. I want to be with the Irish people,” he said.

“It’s just great to be back. I’m very happy. I’m very, very, very happy. I’m so excited to be home. It just feels great to be innocent. I’m as Irish as can be.”
