I think there was one big furore about the one in Phibsborough where they were saying Dublin City Council couldn't afford
to do up pre-terrorist houses, but you're kind of going, it's more than just the cost of the, there's a huge cost to having derelict properties in an area there's an increase in crime, all measurable, all measurable economically as well, but aren't counted into the cost of
of what you achieve by bringing a building back to life.
Sorry, I'm very boring about this.
I totally agree with you.
I think that one of the things is that partly because of Trump, partly because of the... We're in, as Lucian identified, a culture of social media that we're not able to disseminate what actually is happening and what's causing it, or even to say it out loud, that a lot of this is caused by right-wing politics.
And it's very difficult to talk about that because we're seeing on the other side, 6th of January, with Trump and the voting, and there was a riot and...
You know, they all kind of crowded up on Capitol Hill and he's made all of those people taken back out of prison.
So the culture that's around at the moment is very aggressive.
There's a there's a violence within the kind of ether of humanity that is very scary.
But the problem is that at the same time, the social media kind of thing, like take their phones off.
I know that sounds so simplistic.
Sometimes they seem scary.
This, particularly the voices that come in on top of it, you just feel like saying, OK, Elon Musk, just nobody go on Twitter again, that we actively have to kind of push back against it, but just pushing back and saying, oh, it's terrible, isn't strong enough.
Actively, we have to engage with the problem of social media, ask ourselves, you know, how do we do this as a collective, really push back against the political, because it's not, it's coming top down.
It's not just coming bottom up.
And in the middle of all of this,
we have this complete, you know, AI is coming, all this other stuff, and we are like turkeys voting for Christmas.
And on that point, just in terms of migration, it's incredibly important that people realise that we have got a huge crisis in the construction sector.
We do not have enough people with shovels.
