Jerry Buttimer (Fine Gael)

Deputy Cowen has said he was not responsible for the collapse in the banking sector and the economic meltdown, yet he has held the positions of Minister for Finance and Taoiseach. Is the Government in complete denial and not in charge at all? Is it a dream and is everybody else at fault for the problems? Who is in charge in this House? Is it the Leader? Is the Taoiseach in charge of the country? If not, let us call a general election.
