I have been asked by 16 families who live in Cork, the second city of this Republic, to ask Ms Farha a question. I am aware that Ms Farha is dealing with broad brush stroke issues here and does not want to get too involved in the specifics, but I want to ask her if she would like to comment on this matter by perhaps dealing with the broader issues that surround it. The 16 families are living in an apartment complex. They are low-income families and many have children. Some of them have been living there for many years. The apartment complex - the Leeside Apartments - was purchased by a vulture fund.
