And you have your surge.

You have your surge and you have your ebb and your flow.

It's the nature.

It's not unlike sports.

It's not unlike, dare I say it, a soccer match or a hurling match in that regard.

And you have to be fit to actually deal with, cope with, and in my case as the leader, to lead through all of those passages of play.

We are very strong.

We've 39 TDs.

We've six Shenandoah.

We have a crew north of the border.

We're in the executive, in the assembly.

We're a national organisation, Clare.

And our next electoral challenge is actually north of the border when we face into assembly elections next summer.

So what are we going to do?

What am I going to do?

We're going to get up every day, work very, very hard and hope that we can continue to instill a level of hope in Irish people, especially younger people in our country, that we can actually make things better and that they can have their future here.

But this is sports is our politics is competitive and.

And it's not for people who are not prepared to actually see it through the great days and the tough days.

But we're in good shape.

I am satisfied that we are in good shape.
