Professor Patrick Honohan:

The table that was handed over to the committee contains a very peculiar heading, "Loss of Ownership" route, so I called it the so-called loss of ownership route. Honestly, everybody knows my style of speech. If the Deputy is making a point to suggest there is no substance behind what I am saying, I am always cracking jokes. That is the way I have been in this committee many times and nobody said to me that it is not serious speech.
