Where was the legal advice? The report refers to compliance with good practice. Page 35 of the report refers to key good practice requirements. One key stipulation is whether documented legal advice is obtained, whether internal or external. The letter X is beside that statement, which means that the Central Bank was not compliant. Is Mr. Quinn trying to say the advice received was in a folder somewhere on a dusty shelf? I did not understand his comment earlier.
