Mr. Niall Cody:
We value our independence, but I think the Government values our independence nearly more than we do. I have looked at the history and all the debates. Every Minister for Finance emphasises the fact. Every so often, Opposition TDs will ask the Minister, through a parliamentary question, to instruct us to do something. The last thing the Minister wants to do is instruct us.
