Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

Once again, I totally refute that statement. It is totally inaccurate and wrong. It is just not true and it does not become this House to continue making those allegations. They are not true, and I ask the Deputy to accept that. Everything we are doing here and everything we are trying to do to contend with the situation is in the public interest. To continue with such innuendo adds nothing to the debate.
