Judge appointed to preside over David Drumm trial
Summary
A judge has been appointed to preside over the upcoming trial of former Anglo Irish Bank chief executive David Drumm. Mr Drumm, 49, was excused from appearing at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court when Judge Melanie Greally informed the legal teams that Judge Karen O'Connor had been appointed by the President of the Circuit Court, Judge Raymond Groarke, to hear the case. Drumm, who lives in Skerries, Co Dublin, faces 33 counts under two separate bills concerning alleged offences committed at the now-defunct bank. He has not yet entered a plea. Two trials are scheduled: the first on 24 April next year, where he faces two charges of conspiring to defraud depositors and investors by "dishonestly" creating the impression that deposits in 2008 were €7.2 billion larger than they were, and one additional charge relating to the EU transparency directive; the second on 12 January 2018, where he faces 16 counts of offering unlawful financial assistance to members of businessman.
