Yeah, well, of all the speakers, I listened very carefully and everyone spoke very, very well and, you know, different.
But I have to commend, what we need is a few more people like Aaron, to be honest.
Aaron, I commend him wholeheartedly.
He's singing off the same page as myself.
Firstly, I need to give a background to whoever doesn't know me.
You're going to say that.
No, let me make my point and then you can criticise everything I say.
Firstly, I'm from Dublin originally.
I was brought up in Blanchardstown when it was rural, between Blanchardstown and Castlenock when it was rural.
And I can identify with the Blanchardstown, Castlenock, like the Ballymun, Glasnevin thing, which was kind of slipped in a little bit there, like Ballymun Avenue.
In my time, it was always Ballymun Avenue, and certain people have now started to call it Glastonbury Avenue.
But we won't go down that road.
But what I'm saying is, I go in every Saturday morning.
I left Dublin in 1994, and fast forward, I now rear free-range pigs on a farm in Slade in County Mead.
And every Saturday morning, I go into a great farmer's market in the heart of Ballymun, Budde's Farmer's Market, just up beyond Mudd's Graves, Cash and Cardy, near Ikea.
