I invite Members to go to any of the courts or to attend any meetings involving the vulture funds. One can see how arrogant and aggressive they are, and how their lack of understanding is pitted against ordinary individuals and gives them no chance whatsoever. The people have turned to us and to this House. Mr. Edmund Honohan and Right2Homes have given us the option to take this Bill on board. If it is not perfect or if it lacks clarity in any way, let us debate that. Let us move the Bill forward. It is not in my ownership; it is a non-political approach to what is a crisis for society. If we do not do it, more people will be thrown to the vulture funds. People will lose their homes and families throughout the country will be devastated.
