It was before the days of iPhones, I imagine, so I bet the footage is locked away somewhere.

Getting to the point, I have attended a lot of Comhaltas Ceoltóirí events in the past, 2019 in particular. Some of them were my first ever events, and I was just blown away by these multitalented, incredible prodigies who were able to switch from playing a harp to doing an amazing exhibition of Irish dance. It was phenomenal, but the witnesses are very well aware of that. It is quite incredible. It seems there is an increased interest in this. I am potentially wrong but I know that in recent years there has been a real resurgence in interest in Irish traditional music, for example, particularly in Ireland. The witnesses may have touched on my question already. They have lost numbers because of Covid, but pre Covid was interest and participation in Irish dance on the increase in Ireland and internationally? If any of the witnesses could take that question, it would be great.
