Yes, I think I want to start off with um the very last headline you touched on there.
The ex Metrolink chief Shaw McSweeney.
Of course, he was brought in to oversee the rollout of the Metrolink, which we've been talking about for
Decades and decades and decades, and he was being paid handsomely 550,000 euro a year.
But now he's spoken to the New Zealand Herald, which is of course the country that he's from, and he said that the project was overly positively portrayed before he came to Ireland.
He said before when I came to Ireland, there was basically nothing happening.
The project was probably overly positively portrayed.
trade to me, but he said in the last two years I've gotten the job established, I got it funded, I got it politically backed, so I think I've paid for my time here.
So if you're wondering as to why you're not getting the Metro to work tomorrow morning, there's your answer.
To do the research.
I mean, look, this is a project that it was stalled for years and years and years and years and he's saying, Look, I sort of did did what I could and I've and I've done uh what I could really to it but I think it's interesting he didn't really do the research and he's disappointed.

I mean, five hundred and fifty thousand euro, it's hard to say no to that, isn't it?
And he is from New Zealand.
I mean he's that's the other side of the world.
Sure.
So I think he was hoping to be closer to his family, which is fair fair enough to Okay,
Well look, we've got Katie Taylor, of course, all over the papers.
Fantastic night last night in Croke Park in in what is her swan song.
I think one of the best lines that we were talking about before we went on AirPass is how she's a one woman electric picnic show, and that's in the Sunday Times.
