And just

to build on that, actually, I suppose a good example, that'd be one of the challenges of the status report is by the time on a big project, it actually gets the right people.

The situation on the ground will have changed and the window for making, you know, targeted interventions as potentially close, you have less options open to you.

Whereas on sites now where AI can be very effective is, you know, with cameras on on helmets where it's taking pictures of exactly what is happening on a construction site.

It's feeding the images back to a data lake, which is basically a common data foundation for a project.

And the project control team can then see they're not dependent on a report.

They can see they're basing decisions based on actual evidence of where something is at, whether it's completed in line with the plan.

So talk to us, how, look, I'm going back to the procurement thing, right? Tell us the story about procurement and making sure that they got what they wanted from the different suppliers in order to integrate data and have an insight into that.

Sorry, don't think of Tala because, you know, all it does is get thrown darts at because it's been delayed in terms of the

hospital.

Yeah, I think the communication points in terms of early and often is important because, I mean, some of it is just managing the perception that we're just not good at delivering anything in this country.

And so things like early wins need to be publicised, I think.

The broader community needs to understand, for example, what the NDP means for them and their communities, what the Government Accelerating Infrastructure Task Force, not just what they're doing, but how it'll impact them.

That's how you get people on board.

And then I think it's addressing that cynicism in terms of, you know, making people aware.

But have you seen projects where it's done right that we can kind of piggyback on in terms of the positive knock-on effects when things are done right that you can share with us?

Were, were you dropping players for, you know, maybe performance that were below their own level, or what was going on there?

No, I said Tuesday I thought it was one of our best ever European performances, so nothing to do with performance.

You know, you have to manage loads of players.

We've been down this road, uh, a lot the last few years.

We understand what it takes.

We also understand that you have to use the squad, and, uh, if you think you can just keep pushing players and not pick up injuries, you're asking for trouble.

So, uh, it was never about performance.

I think especially second half performance, you must be really happy with.

What's your third takeaway, your action item?

Actually, I'm going on number two.

I want to continue that one there since we're probably securing it.

Multi-factor authentication is your friend.

If it's available on any of your accounts, please turn it on.

It's very easy today for a bad actor, an offender, your ex, to get access to your devices.

So we hear about things called phishing emails, where I send a link in an email or link in a text message.

I mean, does that still matter? Would you always recommend they still make a report?

How have you managed that in terms of the physical side, the mental side, the tiredness, all of that?

Yeah, it's obviously really tricky around these loads when he has games away because, like you said, he's not on the flight for an hour here or there.

It's usually a day's travelling that he has.

And at the start, it probably took us a bit of time to adjust to that.

Pique is the type that will want to train every minute of every day and you have to sort of guard him from that.

As he's got older, he's trusted him more.

And you just have to protect the type of training he's doing.

and it's not a not very tangible thing but in terms of those seven years how how have those experience from your point of view anyway how have those kind of shaped him in terms of what he's brought back to the club then in being with Cap Verde over those years

Stephen Bradley, uh, what's your assessment of the game tonight first?

I thought we were excellent, I have to be honest.

I thought we were very, very good.

Um, on another night we score a few goals and we win the game quite comfortably.

We haven't, and when you don't take your chances, the other team are obviously always in the game.

And, and, uh, Shels got that half chance and, and they scored the second half.

Uh, look, nine times out of 10, Ed saves that one.

What are your own kind of feelings on an Ireland team playing a match behind closed doors, neutral venue, in the Nations League against Israel?

So, Stephen, uh, a great few days for you, obviously, off the back of the Dublin Derby win on Monday and then another crucial three points tonight.

Yeah, really important week for us.

Uh, two Dublin Derbies off the back of two defeats, obviously.

We knew we had to respond then.

And, uh, obviously really pleased on Monday, but really, really pleased tonight with, uh, with how we came into the game after Monday with what that takes out of you physically and emotionally, mentally.

It's, uh, it's a tough game and to come back late on an extra thirty goes with it.

So it was really important tonight we were ready to go because Pats are a good side and they were fresh obviously, so it was, uh, it was really pleasing to see how we approached the game.

His highlight reels is just getting better.
