There are many get-out clauses included in the amendment.

Last night it was put to the Minister on RTE television that the impression had been given that he had given some commitment to the Strand tenants in Limerick that they would not be affected if the sales went ahead. It is possibly because the vulture fund has strong connections with NAMA and the Government. Will the Minister do the same for the Tyrrelstown tenants? He stepped in to help the Strand tenants in Limerick, whom I support fully; fair play to the Anti-Austerity Alliance councillor, Mr. Cian Prendiville, who organised the initial meeting and exposé of the issue. However, will the Minister do the same for the tenants from Tyrrelstown in west Dublin who are in the Visitors Gallery? They are trying to keep a roof over their heads. The Minister has agreed to meet them, which is welcome. They are looking for an affordable mortgage scheme that will help to keep them in their homes.
