One of Ireland's biggest house builders during the boom has told a court he was 'delighted' to give a 'helping hand' to Anglo Irish Bank.
Seamus Ross is one of the so called Maple Ten investors who was lent 45 million euro by the bank to purchase Anglo shares in July 2008.
He's giving evidence at the trial of former Anglo executives Willie McAteer, Pat Whelan and Sean FitzPatrick who deny providing unlawful financial assistance to 16 individuals.
