A date has been set for the trial of three former Anglo Irish Bank officials, who have denied conspiring to commit tax and company law offences.
Aoife Maguire of Rothe Abbey (60), South Circular Road, Kilmainham, Dublin, Bernard Daly of Collins Avenue West, Whitehall, Dublin (65) and Tiarnan O'Mahoney of Glen Pines, Enniskerry, Co. Wicklow (54), are facing charges relating to offences allegedly committed in 2003 and 2004.
Judge Mary Ellen Ring has ordered that the trial, which is expected to last at least four weeks, go ahead on June 3rd, 2015 at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court.
The three accused are due before court again for a pre-trial hearing on April 17th, 2015.
On a previous date, Dublin District Court heard the case has no factual connection with the recent trial of three former officers of the bank. Sentencing in that trial has been put back until July.
Paul O'Higgins SC, prosecuting, said there is a “great deal” of disclosure relating to the case, adding that it is connected to a number of cases in a sequence arising out of Anglo Irish Bank, which are not connected to these three accused.
Ms. Maguire is accused of attempting to defraud Anglo and Revenue as well as conspiring to commit an offence under the Taxes Consolidation Act, and conspiring with others to delete accounts at Anglo Irish Bank PLC in 2004.
The two men are charged that in 2003, they concealed a named account; conspired to obstruct and interfere with an officer of the Revenue Commissioners; conspired to conceal an account that Anglo Irish Bank had been required to produce for inspection, and that they produced incorrect documentation.
It is also alleged that between March 1, 2004 until the end of that year, Mr. Daly and Mr. O'Mahoney conspired to destroy or falsify bank documents and conspired to commit an offence under the Section 107.8 of the Taxes Consolidations Act 1997.
