Mr. Brian Goggin:

Well the whole circumstances that we were dealing with, I mean ... the day and the night, the entire day and the night of 29 September was the worst day of my life. The pressure, the stress, the issues I was trying to deal with, I mean it was, it was incredibly stressful and traumatic, as it was for the Government members present that evening and the officials. My recollection of the room, and I can kind of picture the room as I am thinking back on it, the Taoiseach was at the top of the table, he was chairing the meeting, he was very much in charge. But most of the interaction was conducted by the Minister for Finance.
