Summary

Three former Anglo Irish Bank officials – Bernard Daly (65), Tiarnan O'Mahoney (54) and Aoife Maguire (60) – are on trial for allegedly hiding accounts linked to former chairman Sean FitzPatrick in a tax‑evasion scheme. They pleaded not guilty to seven offences committed in 2003 and 2004. The prosecution says the case centres on non‑resident bank accounts held by Anglo that were investigated by Revenue for possible Deposit Interest Retention Tax (DIRT) liability. O'Mahoney and Daly are accused of supplying Revenue with a list of non‑resident accounts that omitted an account held by John Peter O'Toole, a brother‑in‑law of FitzPatrick. Maguire, Daly and O'Mahoney are also alleged to have asked Anglo's IT department to delete records of two O'Toole accounts from the Core Banking System and to conceal records of six other accounts connected to FitzPatrick or O'Mahoney.
