Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

As the Ceann Comhairle says, it is outside the remit of the questions. As the Deputy knows, we need to recognise the constitutional position and not say or do or indicate anything that would in any way interfere with the independence in the role and functions of those important public servants in the Judiciary who serve us well. I do not wish to say anything more about it, but I am trying to be helpful.
