Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

One of the things about having trust in Government is that we have free elections and free debate. In a most partisan way this issue was brought into the heart of the general election campaign. In their discernment the people have decided on one of two things. They have decided that they will allow the tribunal to deal with these matters and they have insisted by their vote that this man will continue as Taoiseach.
