Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

I am sorry, I will not be barracked. I will try to answer the questions asked to the best of my ability. I want to make clear to Deputy Gilmore that if he contends there is any validity in what he has just said he is then making the same charge against those in the National Treasury Management Agency, the Department of Finance and everyone else who advises Government in this matter.
