In fact, I am going to mention an example that is near to County Dublin. I recently saw a report on the expected closure of Greystones Kilcoole community garden, due to its lease not having been renewed. In researching for this meeting, I learned that 80% of community gardens, or 1,920 of them, face a similar fate. Will our guests comment on that?
