Mr. Fintan Drury:

I never discussed, at any board meeting, making contact with either an individual, i.e. Brian Cowen as Minister for Finance, or the Department of Finance, in respect of any issue regarding Anglo Irish Bank. I never would have allowed any discussion arise at a board meeting of Anglo Irish Bank, or Paddy Power for that instance, where there could potentially have been a conflict between my role as a board member and my relationship with Brian Cowen.
