00:00We landed in Gallagher's Field, up in the park, and there's a building sitting there that's not getting utilised, it's an investment gift.
00:13They can't see whether, they have a blurred vision or something, so that we could pull together and make this an overall tourist attraction,
00:26and something that will bring money into the city, you know.
00:30And an immunity for the local people as well.
00:32An immunity for the local people especially, because they have nowhere.
00:37And I defy anybody from the council to come out to me and go round.
00:42And a whole lot of people have been on to me, but I've used wheelchairs, and the reason why they can't go round, because there's no excess, there's nothing.
00:53There's staggered steps around the place and you can't go round.
00:55And I mean, people say, Debbie, you go on, on.
01:00I say, but it's wild having the sea wave.
01:04Children, having to continue ages, things like that, they go to the toilet, things like that there.
01:14And the people say it.
01:16And then, sometimes, the place was that packed, there was a wee chippy there, there was a wee coffee, coffee trailer.
01:29And then, they go.
01:30And then, they go.
01:31But that's how, that's how, sort of, you can see that there's a nice chair.
01:36And that void needs to be filled.
01:38Yes.
01:39Especially in that area, because it's one of the fastest growing areas in the whole of town.
01:43Yes.
01:44It's going to get bigger, and bigger, and bigger.
01:46Bigger, and bigger, and bigger.
01:47And the story's going to get bigger, and bigger.
01:49Every, every news club now, is about Amelia Earhart, landing up, as I say to you, at the top of Ballyiron.
01:59Yeah.
02:00Not, I just wish they would tell me why they didn't fulfill their promise.
