The Minister for propaganda? It seems they all share that office ..... The Central Bank is believed to be bemused by the claim. Inside the bank, there was a view the minister was confusing issues in 2011 with back-up plans around the potential collapse of the euro. In the Army there is, likewise, no recollection of any such request for a plan to be drafted. Both the Central Bank and the Defence Forces declined to comment on Mr Coveneys statement. But the minister was adamant a distinct request was made. The Taoiseach was getting briefed by the Central Bank that he actually needed to have a fall-back position whereby the Army may have to surround banks to protect them because we could literally run out of money, he told Newstalks Lunchtime show.
