CARL is an initiative within University College Cork that supports community and voluntary groups to carry out research which is important to them. Your initial question is translated into a research project to be carried out by students on your behalf. The students are given an opportunity to develop skills and abilities, while being supervised by experienced researchers. Projects carried out through the university structures are seen as being scientifically impartial and thus can provide organisations with increased legitimacy in political debates or enhance their lobbying activities amongst other benefits.
