Welcome on board Galway26 
I have introduced your query as new thread for more visibility. You can contact some Irish via the: Irish expatriates in Libya network page. Hope this helps meanwhile.
I think it will be hard to get a response from our Expat-Blog Bloggers in Libya because:
> It seems that the Internet is temporary down in almost all part of Libya.
> Also, many expat have returned to their home-land because of the crisis!
However, the team and myself prays that the situation over there calms down. Hope everyone is safe as well.
