Gormley backs Taoiseach after apology
The Green Party leader John Gormley has given his backing to the Taoiseach, describing his controversial interview this week as an "off day" for Brian Cowen.
Speaking in Carlow, where the party is concluding its two-day think-in, Minister Gormley said the prolonging of the controversy was a distraction to the Government.
He said Brian Cowen's interview was "not very good" and his apology was in order, but added the Greens had confidence in the Taoiseach and that it was now time to move on.
