My final question relates to residents' associations. I do not know if anybody here covers that kind of thing. I have heard about scenarios in which the residents' association of a local housing estate where 300 people are living decides to have a summer barbecue on a big green space within the estate, but is asked to stump up €1,500 for insurance. I do not know whether Mr. Croffy's organisation covers such events. This kind of stuff is probably below his level. I am talking about an event at which two or three people bring out their barbecues from their back gardens on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon to cook a few sausages. They are sometimes asked to cough up €1,500 for the privilege of being careful.
