Yeah, indeed.

At least you're there in the Conference League.

A lot of clubs didn't make it.

Anyway, let us start with some interesting comments made by the former boss of Glendimplex and now the chair of the ESRA about planning objections.

That's in the Irish Times this morning.

With the same legal system.

Absolutely.

And of course, it comes on the same day that Metrolink, the metro service for Dublin Airport, has got the green light.

How many people out there think that that won't face a judicial review and go straight to shovels in the ground?

Yeah.

Now let's move to the services sector.

It appears to be holding firm.

Yeah.

And of course, the services sector is the single most important sector in the Irish economy, accounting for what is it, 70 or 75 percent of the economy?

And it includes retail.

Tesco has raised its profit outlook and that comes amid quite high grocery price inflation.

I presume you'll be following the budget on Tuesday next week.

It doesn't look as if there's going to be any rabbits out of the hat, very briefly.

I'm going to have to jump in there.

Unfortunately, we've come to the end.
