The jury in the €52 million theft and fraud trial of former solicitor Thomas Byrne will resume its deliberations on Monday.

Earlier the foreman of the jury indicated they had reached verdicts on most of the charges.

The jury has been deliberating for around 16 hours over the last 4 days.

This afternoon, they indicated they had reached verdicts on around 36 or 37 of the 50 charges.

Former solicitor Thomas Byrne with an address at Mountjoy Square in Dublin is accused of transferring clients' houses into his name and using them as collateral on bank loans.

The allegations date from 2004 to 2007 and most of the charges carry a maximum penalty of 10 years.

Judge Patrick McCartan thanked the jury for the time and effort they have put in so far as he told them to suspend their deliberations until Monday morning.
