Seems like an odd priority given that Ige has already thrown UKIRT under the bus.

Meanwhile, I keep hearing these rumors that TMT staff have given up and moved back to the mainland, which will make it that much more difficult to restart that project...

I don't understand. I'm doing the job I'm paid to do and the one I love. Michelle is currently making some new discoveries in a field it was never used for in the past. What priorities would you expect me to follow instead?

As for TMT staff leaving the island, maybe they really are what you say, rumors. I can't imagine many TMT staff moving here when the telescope is still so many years away from being completed.
