Cowen: Anglo not mentioned in economy discussion
During a bruising Dáil showdown on his previously undisclosed dealings with FitzPatrick in 2008, Mr Cowen angrily denied ever doing favours for business figures, insisting he was the victim of political “smears” and “conspiracy theories”.
Labour leader Eamon Gilmore insisted it was not credible that the Taoiseach had not discussed the deteriorating situation at Anglo with FitzPatrick during their July 2008 outing.
