Charlotte? Yeah.

Well, this ties into what we were talking about before also, and it's, this is a lovely kind of emergent property of the story as it's come to be.

I don't know how much of this was in the writing and how much of this just emerged from the performances, but it really does feel like every character, each of these characters, they all have a li- they each have a life outside of the other, and that isn't something you often see.

I've seen some very high-budget films with, like, a lot of weight behind them where the characters feel like they exist just to serve the plot.

I don't get that feeling with Love in Belfast.

You really do feel like every character has something else going on that we're not seeing, and I think that's what Gary is getting at when he says that there's a lot of potential, and what you were getting at also.

There's a lot of things you could imagine these characters doing, a lot of other stories you could imagine telling.

Yeah.

What's your reaction to the resignation of Mary McAleese?

Well, I'm very disappointed about the resignation of Dr. McAleese.

She's somebody I have immense respect for.

I thought it was wonderful that we had her as chair.

I thought she did well.

I felt that some of the comments which she made yesterday were very regrettable, particularly about the gender issue and about the role of women, because under my presidency...

We have moved to a 40% gender quota.

What actually does that mean?

Take a listen.

The final thing I want to say is this, and it's to do with this particular stadium behind me.

This stadium was handed over to the GAA in 1954 and the GAA nationally owns a large stake in this stadium.

It could be argued that we haven't really done a wonderful job in maintaining it as a modern, fit for purpose stadium.

And at this stage, I want to thank and congratulate Con Hogan for the wonderful work that he has done as the chair of the stadium committee and of course Ger who has taken over Ger Ryan from him to take that into the future.

And I would like to say to you as President of the GAF, you know how much I love that stadium in there.

You know what it means to me personally.

What's the latest there you can tell us about that and maybe the future of Semple Stadium?

So has there been a change intact on that one?

Yeah, and it's been a really successful competition, a brilliant development competition.

Counties really want to play in it and the crowds have held up.

Whenever that was dreamed up, I think it was back in the 2020-21, we had a free weekend at that stage.

But now with the way the championship structures have changed, it's a very busy weekend.

And of course you have Offaly and Dublin out in both football and hurling.

You have four Sam Maguire games, you have the two Talton semi-finalists, but you've also two hurling games.

was always going to be a great draw, wasn't it?

What has your reflection been on this story and the reaction to it across the

GAA community? There's a number of things that come to mind.

The first thing is that the reason why there's a lot of debate, a lot of controversy, is because these things mean a lot to people.

I really felt for Gerrard.

He got 12 weeks at the worst possible time that he could get 12 weeks, which is in the very, very last game of the Allianz League.

I felt for him in that.

Dublin took that the whole way to DRA and it proved that our procedures were robust on it.

Would the GA ever look at that?

What really, though, can the government and county councils do?

The first question we have to ask ourselves is, did we plan to get into this position? You know, for one in three people are living within one hour of Dublin and there's only 18% of GAA clubs that live there.

So, as we were saying yesterday, this is not just about rural decline, it's also about urban overload, too many people living in the cities.

and in the towns and not enough facilities there.

There are a number of things that can be done.

For example, if new developments are going to be built, new housing developments, there should be something in the planning law for developers to say you're going to have to have so much green space there for people to play in.

The second thing I think is that we need to start looking again at the possibility of allowing people to build where they were born because we don't, the situation as it is, children can't build a house where they were born and they can't buy a house where they work.

But is that really the solution to this? Should we really be expecting the county councils and government to solve, I suppose, what really is an issue for the GAA?
