Mr. Charlie McCreevy:

Well, we, if you look at the committee of Deputy Mitchell, you ... I haven't looked at it for years ... God, that's 18, 19 years ago and I certainly, I wouldn't know where to find it, but I would be fairly, I think it would have been referred to, that particular report. But you must remember, we all decided, I mean all the political parties, Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael, Labour, I'm not too sure about any smaller, were there any other smaller parties then, we all decided it was in the best interests of our country to join. And by the way, I was often criticised when my nomination was put to go to Europe as Commissioner, I didn't always sing from the same hymn sheet as everybody about the greatness of having the euro project. I always knew that there were downsides to it. I would have signalled it as well, but it was in the, our overall best interests. We all thought we'd join the euro, and I still believe that to this day.
