I do find it upsetting because I was actually, I was, I'm sorry, I was asked not to bring up the by-election.

I'm not going to say, but it's coming up.

So we're having conversations around, you know, what's important to us, what's important to,

in our communities and, you know, as a community that has always emigrated out, why can't we welcome people coming in and just everyone be together and, you know, stop raising our Irish flag for Irish first?

What does that mean?

Like, I don't know what that means.

You know, let's just be the world and be together.

I sound silly, but I am quite upset seeing it everywhere.

And I've seen it in Dublin.

I walk down, you know, I can see, you know, we can feel it.

And I'm a white person with an Irish name.

And, you know, we need to call it out when we see it.

That's all I want to say, really, Ciarán.
