I am not asking Mr. Ó Cualáin to discuss it. I would not put him in that position even though I think the issue of the Commissioner claiming privilege on this needs to be checked out. What I am really asking Mr. Ó Cualáin is what advice, and this is not privilege, as the head of risk did he give the Commissioner with regard to providing or not providing a section 41? For all I know and in fairness to Mr. Ó Cualáin, he could have been in favour of it. What advice did he give the Commissioner because it is only the document that is privileged? Supposedly, the advice is privileged, not Mr. Ó Cualáin's opinion on what he gave her, so I ask him to be very clear.
