There is one on Blarney Street, which is around the corner for me. There are great groups but I see an imbalance in the number of community associations in, let us say, social housing compared with private housing. However, where they are organised, they are very organised.
I will make one last point. We had an issue where there was a prison built in the Glen in Cork. The only way to take it on was to get €120,000 together to take it to judicial review. The people in the Glen could not raise €120,000 and the prison was built.
