Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

I understand the Minister of State, Deputy Andrews, will meet senior officials after Easter to discuss what sort of recommendations can be made to Government in respect of the first matter. I do not accept the continuing argument made by the Deputy about the relative merits of his proposal because it has been proven, on a fairly consistent basis by reputable people, that his banking policy is not a credible alternative. That has been confirmed.
