Ms Eileen Creedon:

If it sought advice from my office, there would be two other components to the advice I would give. It would most likely be referred to the Office of the Attorney General and the advice of counsel may also be requested. It would be a culmination. The final advice would come from the Attorney General, perhaps based on counsel's advice, back through my office. That would be how the advice would flow.
