Solicitor Chris McGettigan of PJ Flanagan & Co, Enniskillen,
joins Sammy to look at the Quinn case from a legal perspective.

Chris focuses on Patricia Quinn's position: a guarantee for a
loan of over 100 million that, he says, she never knowingly
signed, sought three months after the money was lent, with no
independent legal advice. He goes through the Supreme Court
finding that the Anglo loans were illegal but still enforceable,
the expert reports put before the court, and how the Quinns'
treatment compares with the Maple Ten's.

The conversation also covers David Drumm's conviction, Judge
Hardiman's criticism of leaks to the press, Alan Dukes' remarks
in the RTÉ documentary, the Quinn Business Retention Company and
its shareholding, the request for "retrospective" legal advice,
and who Chris believes should be held accountable.
