So if you'd like to tell us about the theme perhaps of a few previous conferences, but especially about this one, because it seems to be a very pertinent one for Catholics in this day and age.

Yeah.

So this, this year's conference is called Irish Catholic Spaces: Pasts and Futures.

Last year, we, we talked about Catholic social teaching.

The year before that, we talked about the Civil War.

And I think spaces, um, you know, is, is, is a big issue.

So, um, as you will know, uh, during-- after Catholic emancipation in 1829 and, and for about a decade beforehand, a massive number of churches are built across this island in order to provide permanent places of worship for people coming out of, uh, the penal period.

What would a Catholic space or a church or a building have looked like before 1829?
