I thank the Minister. Some progress has been made as a result of the persistence of the tenants. On a night when an occupation is taking place in a building not far from here, I ask the Minister not to pass a law that will allow vulture funds to evict ten households. I send solidarity to those involved in the Irish Housing Network and the "Home Sweet Home" campaign. I think such things will happen more often. Vulture funds should have to sell their properties with the tenants in situ. It is very simple.
