Mr. Charlie McCreevy:

Well I can even ... you did say it was Seán FitzPatrick, we'd better clear this up for a start. I know Seán FitzPatrick since 1973. He's a bit older than me but we qualified at the same time. We worked in Craig Gardner accountants - now PricewaterhouseCoopers - we were there as seniors for a year and a half or so, together with the leader of the Labour Party, Joan Burton, who was a classmate of mine in UCD. So I know Seán FitzPatrick for that length of time but my only thing is with Seán FitzPatrick as a banker was that at one stage he was chairman, I think, of the Irish Bankers Federation and so I think they had a lunch or a meeting one time where they met us around the big table. This is back in my time in finance. I ran into him many ... a few times socially. I never played golf with him even though he's quite a ... he's a very good golfer, people might like to know that, but I actually never played with him, as far as I know. And I know him that length of time, but like I've no communication with Seán FitzPatrick. And by the way, for the record, I haven't drank for over 20 years.
