Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

Yes. With regard to this golf outing, I know for a fact that if I could say, "Yes, we might have discussed something at some particular hole", the Deputy would find that more believable than if I decided not to do so. All I can do is tell the Deputy the truth and I cannot make it up for him. I am telling the Deputy we did not discuss Anglo Irish Bank business-----
