Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

The problem with this Deputy is that whenever he hears an answer he does not like he decides to call people names. The fact that I cannot rise with the same quick degree of indignation as the Deputy does not mean he is any more correct than I. I will leave the name-calling to the Deputy. That is his style, not mine. That is the way he behaves. I am not obliged to take it from him.
