He's interested in the sustainability of Bohemians itself, but he's far more interested in the much bigger picture, using the power of football to fight for climate justice.

The real advantage with football is that Football clubs exist in every single community in every country in the world.

Like the UN doesn't have a network like that.

So if we figure out a part of the solution in Dublin, we can spread it around the world actually quite a lot quicker than others.

So we have... a project going at the minute called Football for Climate Justice, and we have partners in Spain, Real Betis, two clubs in Germany, Werder Bremen and St. Pauli.

We have FC Twente in the Netherlands and Fenerbahce in Hungary.

And so this is an amazing, positive network of clubs trying to redefine that narrative of what sustainability is in the football context, trying to not let it be defined really narrowly as the operations of the clubs or fan travel or these types of things.

And what better incentive to start thinking about this than a call from the captain of your favourite football club?

Sean, what exactly is this?

Well, Anton, it's a concept called community wealth building, which I guess took root in Cleveland and Ohio after the financial crisis that we felt here so acutely as well in 2008, 2009.

The basic idea is that if you're able to allow people a greater stake in the local economy, true systems that we'd be familiar with here, particularly in rural Ireland, you're about to talk to farmers about Mercosur, but looking at cooperatives, looking at community-owned enterprises that really give people good jobs, but also a say in their local community, we think that could be quite transformative for Dublin.

Could you give us a hypothetical

What does shared services mean, John?

Shared services is, you know, if you have... five or six cooperatives that all have to deal with their own payroll, all have to deal with their own accounting, all have to deal with their own human resources, that becomes such a drain on their ability to compete in what is an already difficult proposition of maybe becoming a community owned enterprise in a landscape where there's not a lot of community owned enterprises, right? So the more we can share services, the more we can help people have a type of economies of scale in the operations that we want to set up, we can then nurture a greater likelihood of success for this work.

Tell us exactly what Bose are up to.

Morning, Ciara.

Well, we've been running this toy drive for about eight years now in conjunction with Bang Bang, the cafe in Fibsborough.

and with our partners DHL and the RDS, and Focus Ireland and a number of others, basically it gives the community an opportunity to show a little bit of care for people who may be, particularly the parents of children who don't have the ability to get them toys and gifts at Christmas, which is such a fundamental expectation within our community, right? And it's nice that we're able to relieve a bit of a burden for parents at this time of year.

And Sean, are you looking for people to donate toys, to donate money, to donate both?

Actually, the handiest thing is money because of our partnership with Smiths.

We're able to then get an accurate breakdown of the ages and boys and girls in the centres.

And we're able to tailor the orders a little bit more specifically.
