Labour Leader Eamon Gilmore has said that many people are expressing worries about the National Asset Management Agency to him during party canvasses ahead of the Lisbon referendum.
He said people were very angry about the NAMA plan and that the Government was trying to push something through without public support.
Mr Gilmore also said reports that the Green Party is to seek a 'windfall tax' on speculators to accompany the NAMA legislation would be 'too little, too late'.
The windfall has long gone, he added.
Asked about the Taoiseach's Late Late Show appearance, Mr Gilmore said he was not convinced by Brian Cowen, who he said had again failed to take any real responsibility for past mistakes.
The Labour Party was seeking support for a Yes vote in the Lisbon referendum during a canvass on Dublin's Henry St this morning.
Eamon Gilmore said this is vital in the interests of the country.
Labour, Fine Gael, the Greens and Fianna Fáil agreed earlier this week to co-ordinate their efforts on the ground when canvassing for a Yes vote across the country.
On a walkabout in Limerick this morning, the Taosieach said he was heartened by the support they were getting for a Yes vote.
He said there is no room for complacency and that the next 100 days were the most crucial the country has faced for a long time.
The Taoiseach said the approval of Lisbon would instill confidence both internally and externally in the direction the Government wants to take the country at this difficult time.
Meanwhile, anti-Lisbon campaigners have told a conference in Shannon that Irish neutrality would be threatened if the treaty was passed.
The conference was organised by the Peace and Neutrality Alliance.
British Labour Party MP Jeremy Corbyn claimed the treaty would put Ireland's neutrality at risk:
However, the Minister for Defence, Willie O'Dea said the claims were a distortion of the facts.
Next 100 days 'crucial'
Taoiseach Brian Cowen has said the next 100 days will be crucial for the Government.
In a wide ranging interview on The Late Late show last night, Mr Cowen said tough decisions lay ahead on the proposed legislation on NAMA, next month's referendum on the Lisbon Treaty and the Budget.

Mr Cowen said NAMA was designed to get credit flowing again while minimising risk to the taxpayer.
He said a Yes vote in the Lisbon Treaty Referendum was absolutely vital for the future of the country, while he said that the Budget was going to be 'very difficult'.
Mr Cowen described the latest poll results as 'disappointing on a personal level', but he said whatever the numbers, the job and the challenges remain the same.
The Taoiseach also said he was ready to take his share of the blame for decisions made during the economic boom.
