There's Matt Ennis.

But...

Yeah, since I was about seven or eight, I would have been mad into, like, my dad built a pond in the back garden in Crumlin.

And back then, like, you know, there wasn't pond liners around at the time.

Well, not where I lived, but he made it out of bin liner.

Like, he just got a load of layers of bin liner and took a hole and put it in and then put the water in.

Yeah, I think you saw on like the staple Sunday Night View would have been Gardiner's World and the Antiques Roadshow in my house.

So yeah, and I still watch Gardiner's World.

I love it.

And yeah, I think you saw on that and he was like, that'd be deadly because I was already reading books and obsessed with Attenborough and...

And I was like, why?

Why are fish a bad idea?

Because there's plenty of space for fish everywhere in Ireland.

They have the canals, the rivers, the lakes.

There's loads of homes for fish.

If people want to keep fish in an ornamental pond, that's brilliant and fair play to them.

But it's not a wildlife pond.

Because anything that lands in there or tries to eat the fish are going to make a meal of most of the aquatic insects that we're trying to give a home to.

they won't be able to survive.

So when you take the fish away, what you're doing is recreating these old areas that used to exist in Ireland for them to live.
