The reason I ask this is because something has come to my attention in the last few weeks when I was contacted by several people who are tenants and who are the innocent bystanders in all this. Their landlord has gone bust and is insolvent, and then they get a letter from the receiver saying that the receiver will be selling the property and the tenants have 30 days or 110 days to leave, depending on how long they have been there. Many of those people are finding themselves in difficult or dire circumstances, because they have nowhere to go. What is happening with AIB on this front? What consideration has been given to the innocent tenants who may have been paying their rent faithfully all along and then find themselves in this situation? How is AIB dealing with them?
