Jailed ex-Anglo official's position "fortified" by trial transcript, appeal court told
Summary
Bernard Daly, 67, former company secretary of Anglo Irish Bank, was found guilty of furnishing false information, conspiring to defraud the Revenue Commissioners and conspiring to delete bank accounts from the bank's internal system. He was sentenced to two years' imprisonment on 31 July 2015. Daly's lawyers argued that his trial was unfair and that the availability of the trial transcript had strengthened his case for bail. The Court of Appeal, hearing the renewed bail application, noted that the transcript had not yet been considered and that the threshold for bail had not been met. The judges scheduled a fresh bail hearing for 3 November. Daly's co‑accused, Tiarnan O'Mahoney, also applied for bail but postponed his application until the transcript was available. Aoife Maguire, a former assistant manager, was given a priority hearing for her appeal on 23 December. The article reports only the procedural developments and the charges as stated. Bernard Daly pleaded not guilty.
