Now,
You know, I am unsound on the national question.
Freely admit that.
I know I'm in a minority.
Yeah.
So but the penny is dropping again in middle Ireland that are we going to take on a united Ireland, A, with the financial costs that that is going to incur on us, which will be substantial, but C, the political bandwidth necessary to
I tackle the huge issues that would be involved in that.
And, and this is something else I've been thinking about recently.
So I cover infrastructure a lot.
Like it's, it's my beat.
It's one of my main beats in my column and I work in infrastructure as well.
And I'm chairing all these conferences around infrastructure and, you know, you're looking back on, oh God, how did we drop the ball?
Like we did fall behind.
We really, really did fall behind and we made life so much harder for ourselves and.
I think there are a couple of reasons for that, but one of the factors I firmly believe is that we had the financial crisis, then we had Brexit, then we had COVID, Ukraine war, you know, with these huge existential crises.
And there simply isn't, I think, enough bandwidth across the public service and within politics itself to deal with each of these crises and take all the brave decisions necessary to do what you got to do to deliver housing and deliver infrastructure.
And so so what I see in a united Ireland is there would be a requirement for huge thinking across the entire area of government and trickling down into all kinds of different areas to deal with the huge issues that would be required.
And I just want to build wind farms and pipelines
railways.
And that's where our motivation needs to be.
