Yeah, I was surprised as they were, Joe, to be honest.

And I think a meeting happened Monday.

You know, from the start when she was announced, I was definitely one of the people shouting from the rooftops what an amazing appointment it was.

You know, I would have laughed at people that she got the Queen to speak Irish, so she'll surely get this over the line.

You know, I don't think there's anybody more articulate, more able in the country, to be honest, than her.

Upon reflection now, when all of this is blowing up,

You do have to look at the magnitude of this and perhaps a group of people who are in a position to make recommendations and listen would have been the better option than just one person, because in that room of that steering group,

she was the only independent person, Joe, you know, and that was definitely going to be difficult for anybody when she is in there as one person, not against at all, but working with all of these other people who all have a stake in each of the organizations.

So, but still, you know, all that said, I was shocked.

I really was.

And I know we'll get into it.

You

I know that the communication has been limited from

steering group and she herself explained that as one of the Oireachtas committees, the reason behind that.

But I definitely was one of the pro-integration people and very much

on the side, this will happen in April.

It will start,

isn't going to be a case, oh, we're all under the one umbrella in April 27.

But for her to step away was a massive, massive shock.

I think for her, she just, obviously that meeting happened on Monday and whatever she took from that meeting, because there's other noises coming from inside that meeting, Joe, that would dispute what she's saying.
