Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

I am not involved in a confrontation with anybody. I am merely setting out the legal position, the nature of the report, the basis on which it was brought before the House and the fact that it was discussed and dealt with by both Houses. The suggestion that it was not dealt with is incorrect. If Members want the report to be discussed further by the relevant committee, I will not get in the way of such a process.
