Some people may remember in the run up to the banking crisis the unfortunate remarks of the then Taoiseach, referring to the whole idea of the green jersey. I do not want to talk about that in particular. I just want to ask about the Office of the Taoiseach and the atmosphere or a pervading view that can be created by any Taoiseach. In all the talk we have had about Cabinet, Government and the Oireachtas we have not talked about the Office of the Taoiseach or the power of the Taoiseach, any Taoiseach. Does Professor Farrell have any observations to make about that in this context?
