- Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis: Nexus Phase (10 Jun 2015)

Ciarán Lynch: Mr. O'Connell, you were in the Central Bank, I think, in 1970 until 2010. By my recollection that's 40 years. Now you probably have a better understanding than any of us inside in this room as to what the obligations of section 33AK actually are. If you want to waive them, inform us that you want to do so and I'll try and guide you but I would be advising you in that regard, okay?
