A jury found Peter Fitzpatrick not guilty of conspiring with others to create a false impression about Anglo Irish Bank’s health in 2008. The proceedings were reported on 3 June 2016.

He was formerly Irish Life and Permanent’s director of finance. He was regarded as a key player in Irish Permanent’s merger with Irish Life in 1999, which formed Irish Life & Permanent plc.

He retired from IL&P’s board and ceased employment with the company on 13 February 2009, after the €7.2 billion deposit transaction with Anglo emerged.
