According to Brian Cowen it wasn’t just Sean Fitzpatrick and Fintan Drury at Druid’s Glen that day in July 2008 when no one spoke about Anglo. The group also included:

Alan Gray, director of the Central Bank and partner at Indecon International Consultants

Gary McGann, CEO Smurfit Kappa and former Anglo director.
