In the heat of exchanges with Deputy Cowen, I made a remark which I regret and I want to withdraw.
I knew the former Taoiseach, Mr. Brian Cowen, better than most in this House. I have a great deal of regard for the fact that, like his father before him, he did his public service in this House according to his own lights. I regret the remark I made and I want to withdraw it on the record.
