Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

He keeps criticising me for implementing policies that are trying to bring control to our public finances, but from his perspective he wants to continue on with the idea that it is "game on" as usual. The fact that we are borrowing €20 billion more this year than we are taking in is not his issue.
