There are there is surprisingly when you look around there are battery installations propping up reasonably without with very little oppos opposition really, but it's there's still a lot to be done on that.

Yeah, there are of course, yeah.

And I mean you know, regardless of the the big names who've been putting this into the public arena in in in in recent times, and we don't know what their motivations are, if they know them themselves.

But I think there's a certain timing around this that you know made it inevitable that we need to be discussing this.

You know, we we we had the twenty fifth anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement and not a lot happened in terms of getting public discussion going on it, but we're we're heading very fast towards the thirtieth anniversary.

And that's a whole generation and it's kind of timed

Well, I think that's a good thing.

Where are we?

And are we where we thought we'd be when when the Good Friday Agreement was reached?

But there's a you know there's a fascinating discussion has to happen in terms of do we need a poll before a poll, a poll to say

Are you ready for a poll?

You know, and would you do a border poll if you didn't know what the shape of the land would look like?

You know, would a border poll have to include we'll have a b uh you know, reunification and for example

the continuation of a devolved government in the north for a transitional period.

So we we we need to know how ready people are to even have the poll.

So there may need to be several years of annual polls to say, how do you feel about it?

Are you ready?

Are you ready to discuss this?

Great, loads of trips

how else we're going to gauge is it the right time?
