And what I'm trying to do is give confidence with a funding allocation.
It's in our sector investment plan.
It's been prioritised over other instances and other areas that we could invest in because we want to future-proof the legacy of the GPL.
So in the sector investment plan, we've set aside between 200 and 500 million is the expected cost over a decade.
It'll probably be done on a phased basis.
We've also set aside 6 to 8 million euro to renovate some of the areas in the GPO on a short term basis.
So we actually bring in community and civic use quickly because...
People walk by the GPO and don't really have access and don't necessarily experience it on a daily basis.
That's why, for example, we're going to have a 250-seat cultural and community space in the Telegraph Room where we were today.
And that will, I think, bring a lot more people through it to experience it.
And again, there's other opportunities to have, you know, as you said, there's vacant office space where the OPW are looking at bringing, you know, different public servants or civil servants in by renovation.
I think there's, I've met the Abbey Theatre last year and there's obviously separate work ongoing to properly... That's about decades behind as well where it's supposed to be.
...advance that project with the Department of Culture.
So, you know, and I've been engaged with the Abbey Theatre on that and their work.
It has, but I mean, again, these are projects that are, again, we've put aside significant allocation in the Department of Culture on that project, for example.
But why aren't they ever done?
Because you're cynical.
Yeah, and do I not have reason to be?
You do on the basis of history, but when have you heard such a positive plan for the GPO?
Loads of times.
