I have issues with it. We have dealt a lot with GSOC and we have been looking at its problems for the seven years we have been in here. Rather than reinventing the wheel, it would not do the Legal Services Regulatory Authority any harm to look at the problems GSOC has faced, the mountains it has run into and the obstacles put in its way. The witnesses are not going into an easy job.

The UK-based legal publication The Lawyerdescribed Ireland as the least transparent jurisdiction in Europe when it comes to the application of the law. Why do the witnesses think it stated this?
