Good morning Clare, thanks for having me on.

It's been an incredibly tough couple of days.

It was a very successful weekend.

We had a fabulous time, great feedback, fantastic crowds.

And I was looking forward to just drawing down the funds from Tickets.ie.

I went to log on the portal and there was a notice put up instead saying that the company was planning on appointing a liquidator.

It was an incredible gut punch.

You know, it's just 135,000 euros, slightly over 135,000 euros owing and no notice.

Nobody reached out to me.

It was literally just the change of website was what notified me of this.

Yeah, so look, I've made the absolute decision and I'm committed to no matter what happens, everybody's going to get paid.

Our reputation is really important and all our suppliers.

are incredibly important to us.

So we're going to get everyone paid, whatever it takes.

It might take a little bit longer than normally, but whatever we need to sell up.

But it's absolutely going to set us back a few years.

No, no, absolutely not.

I'm battling.

I think it's just incredibly cynical.

To give you context,
