Yeah, exactly.
That's right.
I mean, if you look across all the domains that we've looked at, all the different types of areas, you see that the South West inner city does stand out.
It has much those same issues.
And yet there hasn't been that same level of investment.
So I think there is a very strong case for something along that lines.
So we had this North East inner city initiative, which...
not just brought together government departments, but also had additional funding.
So they have about 8 million a year just to invest in the area and these kind of targeted measures.
That's the type of thing, you know, the government are looking at different options.
We had stories during the week that there might be some new Dublin City initiative set up and
whatever form that takes, I think the important thing is to recognise that there is severe deprivation in the South West inner city as well as the North East inner city and that needs to be tackled as well.
