Michael Lynn’s theft retrial was set for Dublin Circuit Criminal Court on 16 October 2023, after a jury failed to reach a verdict.

The prosecution alleges that Lynn stole about €27 million from seven banks between 2006 and 2007. He denies the charges and pleaded not guilty to 21 counts of theft.

The jury was discharged after 12 hours of deliberations. The Director of Public Prosecutions sought a retrial, and Judge Martin Nolan set the new trial date.
