Episode Illegal But Enforceable, with Solicitor Chris McGettigan | The Quinn Files EP7
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.
