The Taoiseach should look in the mirror when he talks about my ranting. We should get a big mirror and place it there for him. He rants, but no one believes him. I do not know whether the Minister, Deputy Noonan, wants to pinch him to bring him back to reality, but I do not believe him. Like all of the Taoiseach's other replies, that was an exercise in denial and an evasion over the real state of the country. If he cared to ask, anyone would tell him that.
