Claim that Lenihan said he was overruled 'doesn't sound right', says former advisor

The former special advisor to the late Finance Minister Brian Lenihan says "it doesn't sound right" that he would have said he was overruled on the night of the bank guarantee.

Central Bank Governor Patrick Honohan has claimed that that Mr Lenihan told him that Brian Cowen ruled out nationalising Anglo on September 29, 2008, in favour of the blanket guarantee.
