Yes, good morning, Zarbla, I have.

In that particular one, yeah, absolutely shameful.

I suppose...

You know, it's kind of smacks of arrogance.

And that was the piece I just felt about, we'll say, you know, with the fuel protests and, you know, there's other pieces in the paper.

And this morning, Mary Regan has a piece where she speaks about, and you made reference to it earlier, that the Taoiseach was stubborn.

He insisted that, you know, when he's speaking with the Healy Rays.

And I suppose it's just this kind of arrogance of, you know, don't question us.

And I think there's a lack of understanding about which kind of then caused the outpouring of what I call as mass civil disobedience.

Like it was a straw that broke the camel's back.

And I think it stems from a couple of different things.

People are just fed up in rural Ireland.

Someone said to me during the week, you know.

You're talking to, well, I know you farm yourself, but you're talking to farmers.

I deal with farmers every day.

I deal with farm families every day.

And I just just I suppose what what made me smile when I was reading Leo Varadkar's piece, you know, it was like the rural v urban and the workers v, you know, but like a lot of the workers, farmers are working off farm as well.

The majority of farmers are working off farm.

So like all the different industries that are down, you know, we'll say we pharma, we have like big tech, like a lot of the farmers are working in those industries as well as farming on the land in the morning or the evenings.

So I think it's just it's missing those particular points.
