Mr. David McWilliams:

No. It is still gratifying when I am in a pub and so many people come up to me and say, "Thanks. We were going to buy this house but we watched one of your programmes and we didn't". The public and the establishment had totally different views. The members of the public thought I was saying things they thought in their gut was right. I never had any conversations with anybody in the political process, the big banks, the regulator or the Central Bank. In 2005, Deputy Enda Kenny asked me to address the Fine Gael parliamentary party in Portlaoise. Were any of the Fine Gael committee members there?
