Mr. Peter Smyth:

The Deputy is asking me for a legal opinion. I will not give him a legal opinion. As a process auditor I am precluded from doing that. If the Deputy reads the rules about a process auditor, it is one of the things that is specifically precluded so I will not give him a legal view or a view as to whether there is a legal challenge.

I have said all along that I have not relied on what the various parties told me was and was not discussed at the meetings. I cannot speculate on what may have been discussed but I have gone and done the tests that I can to determine whether they did or could have done anything to interfere with the process. That is the basis of my key finding that the process is safe.
