Here we go.

Yeah.

So the main driver behind this project is Prime Arena Holding Sewer Day.

Now, years ago, talk of building a winter sports arena in Dublin, people would have laughed at this idea.

But actually, it doesn't sound so mad now because we have a nice hockey team up in Belfast that seems to be doing OK and seems to draw crowds and so forth.

And Ireland's participation in winter sports has kind of been generally increasing, nudging along year by year.

And there's a lot of money in the country as well.

And is there an appetite within the British League to accept a team from Dublin?

There were ice rinks in Dublin smaller.

Yeah, Dobbins Barn.

Dobbins Barn and so on, yeah, yeah.

I mean, there is an appetite for ice skating as a leisure pursuit.

We see that at Christmas, don't we?

In Dundrum, for example, they put in a temporary ice rink, it lasts for a couple of months and, you know, families go out and have a bit of fun and so on.

You see that in New York as well, famously in Manhattan.

Yeah.

So I don't know if it's an all year round type of thing or it's just in winter when people feel the sort of desire to put some skates on and go out and do a bit of leisure.

But I just wonder, is there enough business there for even one ice rink to be sustainable all year round?

So, Delirium is the planning authority, right?

Correct.
