I mean that. I do not think there is. I worked in Ballymun for 23 years, and I saw what community activation and a university could do there. Students leave universities with honours degrees but no jobs and are skilling up from the word go. There is a generalisation around the fact it is not working but it is working, perhaps with a long way to go and a learning process with regard to the two new aspects. I do not want to have bad feeling about it.
