Yes, I mean, obviously, we would love to see ourselves much higher in the polls, of course.
But at the same time, I think, you know, I mean, I've come out of a by-election where I took about 12%, I think, was it, in Dublin Central.
And I think, you know, we do know that...
The Green Party vote share does tend to be quite concentrated, particularly around urban areas.
And we do think that I guess what you're what you're disguising sometimes when you're taking things at a national level is the capacity for significant breakthroughs in certain pockets.

But it is also, I think, maybe the easiest stuff to identify as to what the sexism misogyny looks like in public life, because it is so black and white, obvious that this is vile and offensive behaviour.
I think... Are there more sort of vague sort of challenges that you face?
Well, I think that's actually the bit that I'm sort of interested in, because sometimes when you see things like this and there's widespread national outcry, you're like...
