Mr. Fintan Drury:

I know, and you know, that executives have suggested that I would be in a position to get access to the political ear. But you also know that I have said very clearly, because you were listening to my opening statement, I have said very clearly, and I'm happy to say it again, I'm happy to read out what I said again, that I had no discussion with Brian Cowen, either in his time as Minister for Finance or in his time as Taoiseach, in regard to the affairs of Anglo Irish Bank. And let me be clear, I said "materially", material discussions.
